National Fire Chiefs Council – Business Change and Assurance Manager

Full time secondment opportunities open to all FRS employees.

Salary: £86,400 (AM (B) Flexi Comp or equivalent)

The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) is delivering the next generation of communications technology for the Emergency Services, the Emergency Services Network (ESN). A vacancy exists for a Business Change and Assurance Manager (BCAM) as a senior role within the Fire ESN team working with and between ESMCP and National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) as ESN is built, tested, and deployed.

Emerging from a period of reset, ESMCP is moving forward on a confident footing and is refining its plans to ramp up and deliver at scale over the next few years. Working to the NFCC Business Change Lead and overseeing the Fire ESN team, the BCAM is a pivotal role for the Fire and Rescue Service within ESN and suited to someone who is used to delivering at pace, working with agile methodologies, and in a complex, multi-agency environment.

This is a secondment opportunity, initially for 2 years, on a peripatetic basis, and will be seconded to NFCC to work on the ESN programme. The post holder should expect to work regularly in London and undertake regular travel both within the UK and potentially beyond.

Applications are welcomed from suitably experienced individuals with an aptitude and awareness of working on large and complex programmes and will need to be able to confidently deliver challenging information to the sector. The post is open to individuals who are currently employed by a UK Fire and Rescue Service in a role as Area Manager, Group Manager, or equivalent.

This post will be subject to security clearance (SC), which will be undertaken prior to taking up the secondment if not already held. It is anticipated that the secondment will commence in March/April 2025.
