Resilience Officer, Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Local Resilience Forum – Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service

We are currently seeking to recruit a Resilience Officer to join the newly formed, permanent, Local Resilience Forum (LRF) secretariat team.

Jointly hosted by Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) and Nottinghamshire Police, we are looking for an outstanding team player who can work well across partners to deliver support to the LRF.

About the role:

You will be supporting the Team Leader to deliver the workstreams of the LRF and support the LRF Executive and Working Groups, whilst driving improvement for the partnership and supporting the response to operational incidents.

You will have responsibility in the planning and administration of relevant workflows, supporting and delivering key projects and activities whilst being responsible for overseeing the development and evaluation of emergency protocols. You will also be communicating and raising the awareness of these to LRF partner agencies, delivering training across partner agencies and supporting the review of policies and practices across the LRF.

Working both independently and with team members in multiple LRF organisations, you will oversee the development and shaping of new initiatives to effectively deliver key workstreams of the LRF.

Daily activities will include working with LRF partners; researching and analysing a wide range of topics; writing reports and making recommendations based on this research; project delivery; developing initiatives for new ways of working, representing the LRF at local and regional multi-agency meetings, and delivering training to partners.

The role will also involve being on-call. Whilst on-call, you will be required to respond to a suitable work location within one hour of a request for support from any LRF partner for an incident, with a view of establishing, logging and supporting any Tactical Coordination Group (TCG) or Strategic Coordination Group (SCG) within a two-hour period.

Due to the nature of this role, the successful candidate will be subject to a Standard Disclosure and Barring Service check and a NPVV Level Three Police Vetting check. Applicants will also be required to complete a Security Clearance (SC) check prior to undertaking the role. Applicants must have been a resident in the UK for the last 5 years to be eligible for a Security Clearance check.

If you would like the opportunity to discuss this role, informally, prior to applying, then please contact Chris Emmott, Group Manager for Resilience, Risk and Assurance at NFRS by emailing christopher.emmott@notts-fire.gov.uk
