Watch Manager Opportunities
Have you been thinking about taking the next step in your career?
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service is currently recruiting to Watch Manager positions across the Service, and we would like to encourage everyone who is considering promotion or a move to a new fire and rescue service to take a look.
We know that many people hesitate before applying for leadership roles. Sometimes it is because they don’t feel quite ready. Sometimes it is because they don’t tick every box. If that’s you, we would encourage you not to rule yourself out.
Being a Watch Manager is about much more than managing incidents. It is about supporting your people, creating a positive culture, making difficult decisions when needed, and helping others to succeed. It is about being someone your team can trust and rely on.
We are looking for people who lead with integrity, communicate well, take pride in supporting others and are committed to making a difference. People who are willing to learn, develop and bring their own experiences and perspectives to the role.
At Warwickshire, we are working hard to create a service where everyone feels valued, respected and able to be themselves. We know that diverse teams make better decisions, bring fresh thinking and help us better reflect the communities we serve. There is still work to do, but we are committed to creating an environment where people can thrive and progress.
So, if you have been wondering whether now is the right time to step forward, this might be your sign to have a go.
