The recruitment process to find Essex County Fire and Rescue Service’s next Chief Executive/Chief Fire Officer has begun.
Speaking about the recruitment process, Roger said: “We need to make sure that the public in Essex are getting the best possible fire and rescue service – it’s what our public expects and deserves. This means we need a service that continues to drive down the number of incidents, has effective and efficient prevention, protection and response activities in place, works well within communities and with their partners and is transparent, open and accessible, as well as being a great place to work.
“We now seek an inspirational, progressive and experienced Chief Executive/Chief Fire Officer to lead the direction and the provision of an efficient and effective management strategy that ensures service delivery of the key objectives of the Authority. We need a leader who can continue
to deliver our high standards of operational delivery, while also engaging positively with the unions, and working collaboratively with Essex Police.
“With ECFRS in a stronger, more resilient place than ever, this is an exciting time to lead one of the biggest fire and rescue services in the country.”
