TYNE AND WEAR FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE

DEPUTY CHIEF FIRE OFFICER

£134,084 (current pay award pending)

Could you be our next Deputy Chief Fire Officer (DCFO)?

We are seeking a DCFO who can work as part of the Services Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and provide effective management and strategic leadership as we continue to adapt to the evolving risks and demands our communities face both now and in the future. You would become part of a motivated team focussed on community and staff safety, continuous improvement, inclusivity and a fair and healthy workplace. The post holder will work on a continuous duty pattern with conditions of service aligned to the NJC for Brigade Managers of Fire and Rescue Services, constitution and conditions of service.

As a result of our succession planning process and the pending retirement of our existing Chief Fire Officer, our current DCFO will take on the role of Chief Fire Officer in November 2023, resulting in a vacancy for the post of DCFO.

Our landscape like most public sector organisations will likely be characterised by multiple complex challenges requiring even greater partnership working, collaboration and innovative thinking. Our ability to predict and evolve in order to respond to the opportunities, changes and demands of us as a public service will be the biggest influence on this and require leadership that can offer vision, drive and deliver results that make sense to our communities, staff and partners.

Using your professional expertise, you will, where required, deputise for the Chief Fire Officer and where necessary, provide strategic advice to the Fire Authority and other ELT members.

You will be able to inspire a positive and ethical culture for our almost 900 staff in their work to ensure we maintain and build upon our recent HMICFRS inspection outcomes and continue to improve the safety and protection of the 1.1 million residents of Tyne and Wear. You will have a proven track record of positively driving transformation in a large, diverse organisation and experience of working in complex and politicised environments.

With a collaborative leadership style, you will demonstrate significant commitment to our core code of ethics, values and principles. With well-honed communication skills you will be comfortable when engaging with a range of people and adapting your style to meet the needs of your audience.  Engaging effectively will come naturally to you, be it with the public, peers, staff, Fire Authority Members, trade unions and representative bodies, external agencies or partners.

The North East will see the introduction of a new Mayoral governance model from May 2024 however, responsibility for Fire and Rescue Services will not fall within the Mayors remit. You will be required to use your influencing skills and experience to ensure that TWFRS remains relevant, has a voice in local decision making and continues as a highly credible and valued partner in delivering community outcomes and reducing deprivation and inequalities across our communities.

With a broad range of experience of emergency incident command, you will be required to provide evidence of a Level 4 Incident Command qualification and accreditation, or demonstrate the ability to operate at this level through an assessment as part of the selection process.

Eligibility and Application

As a minimum, you must be a current serving operational Area Manager (Competent) or Principal Officer (Chief, Deputy Chief or Assistant Chief Fire Officer) of a UK Local Authority Fire and Rescue Service.
