Careers & Community Engagement Outreach Worker

Careers & Community Engagement Outreach Worker

Salary: £22,183 – £24,491

Fixed term contract 12 months

Location: the successful candidate will work flexibly spending most of their time working out in the community across Merseyside and some time working at Service Headquarters, Bootle.

Do you want to work in a unique, fast-paced environment where everything you do contributes towards keeping people safe and enriching our communities?

Do you want to challenge stereotypes, help people realise their best selves and achieve their true calling in life?

Do you want to work with one of the best Fire & Rescue Services in the country and help us become even better?

Our guess is that you answered ‘yes’ to all these questions, and if you did, we want you to come and join our team in putting our communities first.

At Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service we never stand still, we are constantly seeking improvement and we never settle for the status quo. We recognise how far we have come and we are positive about the future. We want you to be a big part of that future and help bring about changes that have an impact for generations to come and change the Service for the better forever.

We are embracing new ideas to build on the confidence and trust the community has in us and we want you to help us truly reflect the diverse people we serve within our own team.

The Careers & Community Engagement Outreach Worker is an exciting new role, which will help us transform our workforce to truly reflect the diversity of our communities.

We have a problem. The applications to both our operational and support roles do not reflect the community- we do not have as many applications from all under-represented groups such as women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, disabled people and the LGBT community. We want the best people for the best Fire & Rescue Service and we know there is a huge pool of talent we are not reaching yet. You can help us.

You will work out in the community across Merseyside visiting groups and organisations who represent the people we want to reach and show them that MFRS is a place where everyone can flourish in their career. There is no ‘typical’ Firefighter or any other role in the Service and we want you to use innovative ways to get that message heard. You will go out to partner organisations, to careers events at schools, colleges, universities and in the community to be the light bulb above a person’s head which says ‘I can do this!’ and changes their life.

You will arrange events for partners and applicants to attend, promoting the Service and the incredibly diverse career opportunities we offer. When you are not out being a positive force in the community you will be supporting colleagues with selection processes including Firefighter recruitment. The flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends is an important part of this role.

You will have experience of building positive relationships with groups and organisations acting for under-represented groups in Merseyside. This is an exciting role for an outgoing, tenacious, highly motivated person with excellent communication skills who can embrace and understand difference and create a sense of belonging.

Not only do we want you to help others flourish, we want you to flourish too! We offer a competitive package with some great benefits available for employees:

  • Full flexible working arrangements with a 35 hour working week
  • 22 days holiday plus Bank holidays and Christmas close-down
  • Access to free on-site gym, free secure parking, on-site canteen
  • Contributory pension by both the employee and by MF&RS
  • Excellent Occupational Health Services and Employee Assistance Programme
