STATION MANAGER B VACANCIES

Tayside Fire and Rescue are offering an excellent, but challenging, opportunity for Station Managers who have the ambition and drive to deliver excellent services to the communities we protect.

You should be able to demonstrate leadership and enthusiasm and have a sound knowledge of, and commitment to, the variety of changes and challenges within the Fire and Rescue Service.

You will require excellent interpersonal and communication skills.  You will need to be a team player, able to motivate others, whilst supporting and actively promoting equality and diversity.

Applicants will be at competent Watch Manager level and provide evidence (at the time of interview) of having passed a Middle Management Assessment and Development Centre or equivalent, in order to demonstrate that they have the potential to operate at Station manager level. We are also pleased to invite applications from existing Station Managers seeking to transfer.

Station Managers are required to work a 78-hour flexible duty system.  The salary and terms and conditions of service are those detailed in the National Joint Council for Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services as adopted by Tayside Fire and Rescue. All Station Manager vacancies are interchangeable within Tayside Fire and Rescue.

Successful applicants will be required to provide on-call accommodation within an appropriate area of Tayside as approved by the Chief Fire Officer. As an essential car user, successful applicants will be eligible to join Tayside Fire and Rescue’s car leasing scheme.

Due to the sensitive nature of the duties that the postholder will be expected to undertake, a standard disclosure will be sought from Disclosure Scotland for the successful candidate.
