The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) provide Fire and Rescue services across the UK the opportunity for improvement and development.
This role will require a highly experienced professional with progressively developed skills in a specialised area gained through an advanced qualification e.g. a degree and professional qualification or equivalent or considerable years of practical experience.
The role demands an in-depth and or broad understanding of the specialist area of NFCC Fire Cadets UK by providing a tactical link between the Fire Cadets National Executive Team staff, Fire and Rescue Services across the UK, and the Fire Cadets Board work streams. The postholder will manage and be accountable for the development and implementation of key objectives, work plans and monitoring processes to ensure that Fire Cadets fulfils its potential to develop as a national cadet organisation.
The Fire Cadets National Board, with the support of the Fire Cadets National Executive Team, ensure the development and implementation of the Fire Cadets National framework which aims to:
· Be widely recognised nationally and internationally as a credible uniformed youth organisation respected for excellence, opportunity and inclusion, inspiring young people to achieve their potential
· Ensure that decision-making is consistently influenced by the views and opinions of its young members
You will need an understanding and experience of youth engagement preferably within a uniformed youth organisation, with an appreciation of working with adult volunteers. You will also need to develop an extensive understanding and working knowledge of Fire Cadets and other uniformed youth organisations, along with excellent time management and prioritisation skills.
Meetings and events are held across the UK so there is a need to work flexibly and peripatetically as the role will include regular overnight and some weekend commitment, therefore a willingness to travel is also essential. These requirements will allow for a degree of flexibility as to where the role will be based in the UK as we are determined to appoint the right person for this important role.
