Community Engagement Lead - London Fire Brigade
Posted 2 days 6 hours ago by National Fire Chiefs Council Limited.
LFB is looking for a leading Community Engagement professional, with a strong combination of emergency services and/or community response and recovery, and grass roots Community Engagement practice.
At LFB we have a commitment to the Grenfell community, and part of this commitment means showing up for communities after an incident and ongoingly to ensure that LFB plays a full part in community recovery and healing. We are on a mission to embed our much-improved practice of working closely, meaningfully and ongoingly with communities impacted by or at the greatest risk of incidents across the capital, from fatal e-bike fires to supporting our blue light partners at a wide variety of serious incidents.
At the heart of this role is leading the implementation and development of an organisation-wide approach to community liaison, care and recovery at and after incidents. We require someone who understands the complexities of delivering meaningful engagement within the context of a busy emergency service. You will work closely with our Community Engagement Manager and Assistant Commissioner for Fire Stations to ensure essential Community Engagement Training attendance levels are met and learning outcomes achieved and standards improved. Alongside this you will manage our 24/7 offer of community support for our Fire Fighter Colleagues needing trauma informed community expertise at incidents and in the immediate aftermath. This will mean working flexibly and out of hours where required as well as managing an out of hours service.
Outside of leading on this important area you will have the opportunity to support the Head of Service and other senior colleagues with building strategically important community relationships for LFB.
You will need to have a varied skill set. A strategic mind with collaboration at your core, but the ability to react and respond very flexibly to the immediate need at incidents. Sound professional judgement is key success in this role. You will need to be able to bring people with you. LFB is on a mission to transform its own culture and we require all of our leaders to fully engage in our culture change work and actively seeks out cross-departmental strategic links to improving workforce culture.
This is a very challenging role and it is a truly exciting time to join LFB and our dynamic Community Engagement Team. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch via
The role is London-based and requires at least 40% in-office / on station working to facilitate collaborative working with stakeholders.
