Applications are now invited for Watch Manager A – Fire Safety Inspector posts, within the Fire Safety Department, based at our offices at Newcastle and Sunderland Central Community Fire Stations. There are a number of current and potentially future vacancies in the department that will be filled on a temporary basis.

About Us

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service are seeking to appoint individuals, to the role of Watch Manager A.

Having been rated as “Good” across all Home Office Inspection criteria we consider ourselves to be a high performing, inclusive and innovative organisation. We are well regarded by both the communities we serve and the partner agencies with which we do business within the North East of England and with our ambitious plans for the next 5 years, we would really like you to join us on this journey.  More information about our Service can be found by visiting www.twfire.gov.uk and our various social media channels.

Eligibility and Application

Expressions of interest are sought from existing substantive Operational Sector Competent Crew Managers who wish to develop themselves in an alternative role in the Service. This opportunity is open to staff who have completed their development in the role of an Operational Crew Manager.

These roles will be initially based at one of the Fire Safety offices at West Denton and Sunderland Central Community Fire Stations, reporting to the Fire Safety Watch Manager B within the department.

The role of a Fire Safety Inspector is challenging but rewarding. Primarily the role will undertake fire safety audits at commercial premises but also involves working with a number of internal and external partners to ensure businesses are complying with the fire safety legislation, supporting businesses with safety advice with the aim to protect the community and ensuring the safety of Firefighters in the built environment.

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service has a statutory duty for enforcing The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in most premises in Tyne and Wear as well as the Licensing Authority/Regulator for explosives and petroleum legislation.

Fire safety audits form the basis of our Risk Based Inspection Programme, designed to reduce the risk and impact of fire upon communities, businesses, heritage sites and our environment, and safeguard Firefighters who respond to fires in these buildings.

Specialist Fire Safety Inspectors visit higher risk and more complex non-domestic properties and petroleum/explosives sites to audit their protection systems, carry out assessments of workplaces, processes and associated risks.

This is a unique role within the organisation, and will appeal to proactive, existing substantive Operational Crew Managers who are looking to further develop themselves and make improvements to the department and Service, building on our existing high standards.

Being able to work in an effective and efficient team is key to the role but using your own initiative and communicate effectively with colleagues, community members, landlords and other Agencies are important skills, as is producing good quality information and reports. Fire Safety Inspectors manage their own workload and primarily engage with business in our community auditing compliance and supporting the business to reduce the likelihood and severity of fire, raising awareness of deliberate fires and false alarm management, increasing the understanding of fire safety in non-domestic premises and develop knowledge and skills in the built environment.

This is an exciting opportunity that will also broaden the successful applicants understanding of the Service, gaining experience in a different and challenging role and giving them the exposure to enable them to gather further evidence to support their development.

Applicants will undertake an interview with the department managers to assess suitability for the role.

Before applying it is important that you have discussed your intention to apply with your Line Manager, who will consider suitability and endorsement. If you are interested in applying for this role please log into Core on your Employee Dashboard and select the jobs tile.
