We are recruiting a Senior Events Manager to join our small but busy events team within one of the largest fire and rescue services in the world.

You’ll be working across a range of events, both internal and external facing, from briefings and conferences, to long service award ceremonies and an annual staff recognition event.

So for this role, it’s imperative that you have excellent verbal and written communication skills.

The Brigade is changing and improving to further meet the needs of London and Londoners. Effective and measurable internal communication is at the forefront of us achieving our goals. Your role will be to deliver the best events, that really engage our audiences, and to show the results of your work through regular evaluation.

We are looking for a super organised individual with previous experience of working in a busy events team, within an internal communications department. The role will be challenging but immensely rewarding. If you’ve got what it takes, we want you to join us.
