The Role

Reporting directly to the Head of Legal Services, you will help to provide a full range in-house legal service within the stimulating environment of a Fire & Rescue Service and be part of delivering a first class service to our communities.  As Deputy Monitoring Officer, you will also be involved in the democratic governance processes of the Authority.

This is a varied and interesting role. You are likely to have a broad range of skills and experience covering a number of legal disciplines.  Full training and support will be given to help you develop those skills further, as well as learn new ones.  Whilst previous Local Government experience may be an advantage, transferable skills, a flexible attitude and willingness to learn are all equally important.

This is a role that will suit someone wishing to progress their career within a small, but supportive team.

  • Flexi-time and hybrid working schemes allowing you to have an element of flexibility over your working hours.
  • Full IT support for homeworking, including laptop and mobile phone.
  • Payment of practising certificate fee.
  • Funding for CPD and training.
  • Free car parking at Service headquarters and across our 25 fire stations.
  • Access to restaurant facilities.
  • Access to the Blue Light Card – the UK’s largest Emergency Services discount card.

The grading for the post includes a market supplement of £5,000 per annum, payable for five years from the date of appointment.

Closing date for applications is at midday on Monday 30th May 2022 .  Interviews week commencing 20th June 2022.
