Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service are seeking an experienced Fire Safety Advisor to join our team. You will join us on a full time, permanent basis (37 hours per week). Hybrid working may be considered for this role. In return you will receive a competitive salary of £25,119 - £27,803 per annum.
About the Fire Safety Advisor Role:
The successful candidate will be working as part of a team delivering fire safety advice to members of the public for both commercial premises and private dwellings, as well as providing support to the fire protection inspecting officers. The day-to-day role will also entail administrative duties, and you will therefore need to be familiar with Microsoft packages such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Full training will be provided on other internal software systems used.
Responsibilities as our Fire Safety Advisor:
As a Fire Safety Advisor, your base will be at Fire Service Headquarters, and you will be the initial point of contact for fire safety concerns, ensuring relevant advice is given in line with national guidance. You will need to:
1. Demonstrate good verbal communication skills.
2. Deal appropriately with confidential matters.
3. Ensure appropriate action is taken.
4. Liaise with mobile inspecting officers.
5. Manage fire safety data.
6. Maintain communications with regulatory partners.
7. Ensure a high standard of work is maintained.
At times, this role will be challenging and will require the successful applicant to work on their own initiative as well as part of a close-knit team. However, the job can also be rewarding knowing you are assisting in providing a vital role to both internal departments and members of the public in ensuring safer places for safer people.
What We’re Looking For:
Ideally, you will be Level 3 qualified in fire safety; however, Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service is willing to fund training for the right candidate if they demonstrate the desired level of ability and commitment to the training. It would be an expectation that this Level 3 certificate is achieved within 2 years and may require you to attend residential courses. There is also the prospect of career progression to the role of Fire Safety Inspecting Officer.
