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

We are currently seeking to recruit a Local Resilience Forum (LFR) Support Officer to join our newly appointed, permanent team.

Jointly hosted by Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service 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 responsible for delivering a high level of customer service to staff, partners and the general public, as well as supporting the wider LRF Executive and Working Group.

You will provide flexible administrative and coordination support across the range of the LRF teams’ core roles, utilising word processing, spreadsheets and electronic diaries.

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

Working as part of a small, dedicated team, daily activities will include managing a comprehensive electronic and paper-based filing and records system to ensure accountability for the LRF data and management information; the organisation of meetings and training events; the coordination and supporting of LRF activities and the delivery of key workstreams.

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.
