**Job description**:
HM Coastguard (HMCG) is the operational arm of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency with responsibility for six key functions: Search and Rescue, Pollution Response, Vessel Traffic Management, Maritime Safety, Maritime Security and Emergency and Disaster Management.

There are three delivery disciplines within HM Coastguard: Maritime Operations and Aviation Operations, which coordinate activities from an operations room environment, and Coastal Operations, which manages resources and service provision on the coast.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Coastal Operations group as a Coastal Operations Area Commander, where you will use your exceptional management skills to lead our team of dedicated Officers and Volunteers.

Based at Colchester, the successful applicant will lead and manage Coastal Operation personnel, equipment, vehicles and estates from Hunstanton to Southend.

Using your excellent interpersonal skills, you will ensure that your teams are fully trained and have the necessary tools and equipment to carry out their vitally important roles of saving lives at sea and on the coast; ensuring the economical use of budget.

The Coastal Operations Area Commander will collaborate with a variety of stakeholders from Coastguard rescue staff and volunteers to other emergency services and partners within the resilience world, weighing up risks and making effective decisions to deploy and direct resources to meet operational response needs.

This is a unique and varied role which brings with it a great deal of autonomy. It is a physically challenging and rewarding role, where you will directly contribute to saving lives and really making a difference.

This role is permanent, with the role holder required to work as part of the national staffing system including the provision and participation in a 24/7 on-call roster.

MCA supports flexible working and operates a hybrid working model between home and office for this role, giving you greater flexibility over where and when you work. Details of the arrangement will be discussed further with your line manager.

There may be a requirement for occasional travel to attend formal training events as well as travel within the area of responsibility to deliver training, engage with coastal teams and partner organisations, carry out investigations and respond to incidents. This may require spending time away from home and the normal workplace. A full driving licence valid for driving in the UK is required.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

- Leading, participating or supporting assurance and investigation teams
- Recruiting, managing, training, supporting, coaching and mentoring full time officers
- Reporting to the Coastal Operations Divisional Commander, ensuring compliance with all governance requirements within their Area, including management of the Area budget
