**Why should I choose Somerset Council?**
Good question.

Well, for a start, we’re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities and businesses of Somerset.

And that’s why we’re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.

If you’re looking for a place where your work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.

We also promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.

**What will I be doing?**
The Civil Contingencies Unit ensures that plans are in place for the council to respond effectively to any external or internal incident. It requires detailed planning, delivery, testing and exercising of plans and response structures to ensure they are fit for purpose in the event of a major incident.

The Civil Contingencies Officer will deliver projects and activities to meet Somerset Council’s responsibilities under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, to maintain effective business continuity (BC) and emergency planning (EP) preparedness.

- Plan writing, training, and exercising.
- Event planning, Glastonbury Music Festival, Carnivals and Local events
- Work with partner agencies such as the emergency services, voluntary sector and private industry including Hinckley Point C nuclear power station.

We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you:
.Ideally have:

- Formal qualification in emergency planning or similar
- Knowledge or experience of dealing with critical or major incidents
- The ability to effectively communicate at all levels. Both verbally and written.
- Work as part of a team.

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**What will I be offered in return?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more
