**About the role**

This is an exciting opportunity for a self-motivated, enthusiastic, and experienced Emergency Management officer who has opportunity to influence the response and recovery to emergencies and incidents in Cornwall.

This is a critical role, with the post holder being responsible for undertaking a range of specialist duties across the County, not only when responding to emergency situations such as floods or terrorism threats but also requires the post holder to manage a varied workload considering future threats and impacts.

You will be part of a dedicated Emergency Management team and will take the lead on a number of work programmes covering this exciting agenda. You will be required to prepare and maintain a range of Emergency Plans to ensure the council provides an effective, efficient, and co-ordinated response to emergencies and can recover to normality as soon as practically possible.

You will need to be able to work in partnership with others to help identify risks threatening the performance of critical functions and things that could impact the communities of Cornwall. You will be required to use this information to write simple and concise Council and multi-agency emergency plans, so in the event of an emergency or disruption, resources can be focussed in the right areas and appropriate continuity strategies enacted upon.

As an expert in your field, you will also be required to provide general advice to local businesses and voluntary organisations about Business Continuity Management and offer to assist in the response and recovery to major incidents.

You will have a full degree or diploma in emergency management/business continuity or equivalent qualification.

OR

You will be able to demonstrate previous successful experience of working in a relevant role.

Membership of a professional body such as the Business Continuity Institute or Emergency planners’ society.

As part of this critical function, working hours are generally 37 hours a week, although they can be longer in the event of an emergency. We operate on-call 24 hours a day to co-ordinate the Council's response, so you will be required to be on-call at evenings and weekends on a rota basis. The on-call rota attracts an additional payment.

Fairness and inclusion are at the heart of our vision for Cornwall. To best serve our communities, we are striving to achieve a
