Station Manager Promotion Board

Station Manager Promotion Board – South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue

Station Manager – multiple roles Service wide.

Salary – £45,861 (competent) £41,578 (Development) (plus 5%, plus 20% Flexi Duty Allowance dependent upon role)

Various locations across South Yorkshire dependent upon role. We promote agile working including homeworking.

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue is proud to be one of the leading fire and rescue services in the country, having been rated as triple good in our most recent inspection from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS). 

We have a clear vision – to make South Yorkshire safer and stronger – and we base everything we do around this core aim. We also have a set of three key aspirations – to be a great place to work, to put people first and to strive to be the best. 

We are a forward thinking and ambitious organisation that is constantly striving to improve. To meet our goals and aspirations we need capable and driven leaders who are passionate about delivering a first class service to the communities we serve. 

We also want good people who share our values of honesty, integrity and respect. People who are brave and have the courage to do things differently, embrace diversity of thought and adapt to the challenges we will inevitably face in the future.  

As a member of our station manager cohort you will be part of a busy, metropolitan fire service. Our crews and officers responded to over 13,500 incidents last year – ranging from road traffic collisions and water rescues, to animal rescues and traditional fires. 

You will also help us manage and respond to the wide ranging risks we face across South Yorkshire. We’ve got shopping centres and national travel links, wildlife parks and airports, prisons and listed buildings, reservoirs and COMAH sites. 

And ultimately, you will be helping to protect over 1.4 million people across 1,553 square kilometres. We need the very best leaders to help us do this so, if you’re up for a challenge, we want to hear from you.
