Station Managers

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.
