Station Manager – Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service

Our Service is much more than a Fire and Rescue Service. Not only are we
committed to keeping the communities we serve safe by responding quickly and
professionally, it is also part of our vision to invest in future generations by improving
well-being, supporting businesses and operating as a well-respected and trusted
Service.

To support us in delivering our vision we are currently seeking Station Manager B
roles with a Flexi Duty (FDS) requirement attached to the role. There is also the
possibility of 42-hour SM (B) roles with no Flexi Duty requirement being available.
These roles would not attract the Flexi Duty supplement, however successful
applicants would be required to obtain and maintain an Incident Command Level 2
competence.

To be a successful Station Manager you will be a competent and substantive Watch
Manager with experience of providing leadership, command and support of fire
operations, with knowledge of the national, regional and local legal and operating
environment of fire and rescue services. You will be able to demonstrate your ability
to lead, manage, motivate and develop teams including applying performance
management techniques to ensure high quality service delivery.

To protect the communities we serve, Station Managers are expected to understand
prevention and partnership working, with the ability to work collaboratively to
implement innovative solutions and ways of working to ensure the highest standards
of service delivery.

Successful postholders will provide Level 2 incident command and be able to
demonstrate competence against WM7.
