Location: Posts available in the North West and South East in the county of North Yorkshire, based at your local Fire Station with the expectation to travel

Salary: Grade 7 (£29,269 – £31,364)

Contract: Permanent – Green Book / Full Time working Monday to Friday in standard office hours

We are looking to appoint several uniformed Community Safety Officers to work in some of our most rural areas in North Yorkshire, as part of North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Prevention, Early Intervention and Safeguarding Team.

The role of a Community Safety Officer is to work directly with the public and other organisations including community groups, to deliver interventions that help to prevent people from being seriously hurt or killed on our roads, in our waters or due on to a fire in their home. You will also support with reducing the impact to communities of large-scale harm due to environmental events (eg wildfires).

Our Community Safety Officers spend a lot of time travelling across rural areas in Fire and Rescue Service vehicles, to meet with individuals and families who we have identified through our Community Risk Profile as being at the greatest risk of harm.

We train our Community Safety Officers so that they are highly skilled in delivering evidence-based harm reduction interventions (including Home Fire Safety Visits). Because every person is unique however, a Community Safety Officer requires the ability to truly listen to an individual (and in some cases others who may support that individual), to understand their specific needs and wishes, and to tailor an intervention appropriately.

Each day for a Community Safety Officer is rarely the same. They may deliver a road safety intervention to children within a school, followed by a fire prevention talk to a community group, along with the delivery of a Home Fire Safety Visits to an individual who may be just returning home from hospital, or a person who exhibits hoarding behaviour.

We are looking for individuals who are confident, capable, and resilient to work on their own, but also as part of a wider team. To be successful you also will:

– Be able to build positive and trusted sustainable relationships with the public and staff/volunteers within partner organisations, to deliver person-centred high quality, safe, and professional specialist harm reduction interventions.
– Able to commit to achieving and demonstrating results and delivering positive outcomes that make a real and tangible difference for the public and individuals and families, who may experience one or a range of circumstances, such as poverty, ill-health, poor mobility, disability, loneliness and isolation, discrimination, or oppression; with dignity, respect, and compassion.

– Have an understanding of safeguarding principles and the practical application of safeguarding practices.
– Be open to continuous learning and improvement, and to supporting the wider team and Service as a whole, to learn.
