An opportunity has arisen in the Logistics function of the Operations Support Group (OSG) as a Warehouse Operative/ Driver.

We are looking for an organised person with excellent interpersonal skills to join our diverse and multi skilled logistics team at the London Fire Brigade Operations Support Centre (OSC).

When operating as a driver, the post could be dispatching from Croydon OSC, or covering other routes commencing from Park Royal, or Barking, and will cover a specific region of stations to deliver everything from safety and emergency kit to stationary and toilet roll – everything our locations will need to stay “on the run” and to protect the people of London.

We are seeking people who:
• Can work with accuracy, plan and prioritise work with the ability to adapt to changing situations and have experience of using stock management systems as well as general office IT packages such as Word and Outlook.
• Have a “can do” attitude and can work to resolve issues independently when appropriate.
• Experience liaising with internal and external clients to resolve issues satisfactorily.
• Have experience of driving vans, planning, and adapting routes, and making multiple daily deliveries.
• Are confident in safe manual handling procedures carrying weights of over 5kg and no greater than 20kg.
• Have excellent interpersonal skills to work co-operatively and flexibly as a member of a team, and to liaise effectively with staff at all levels.
• Hold a clean current UK driving licence (LGV preferable but not essential.)
• Experience of working in both a warehouse environment as well as a delivery driver would be advantageous, but we would welcome applications from those who may have excelled in one of these positions rather than both of these areas

In early 2020, the London Fire Commissioner published the Transformation Delivery Plan (TDP) which set out the actions required to transform the organisation to address concerns raised by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) and the Grenfell Tower Inquiry (GTI) in late 2019. This marked the beginning of the organisation’s transformation journey and necessitated a restructure for the Transformation Directorate. This new structure will provide the capabilities and capacity the London Fire Brigade (LFB) requires to sustain transformative change across the Brigade, deliver the 2023 – 2029 Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP), which is our strategy and response to risk in London, and enable the LFB to provide the best possible service to London and Londoners.

The PMO Analyst will support the PMO Manager in developing and managing portfolio, programme and project arrangements for the Brigade including establishing the delivery cycle the PMO will use to engage with the business, managing the training function of the PMO and developing and maintaining processes and standards to ensure that the Brigade is best placed to successfully manage change within the organisation.

They will be responsible for developing project analytics to monitor and measure project performance, maintain the Centre of Excellence (CoE) function within the PMO and assist in the provision of support and advice to project and programme managers.

Applicants will have to demonstrate a sound understanding of project and programme management methodologies. They will also have experience of working flexibly in a team and responding effectively to changing priorities to meet deadlines or targets.
