This is an exciting opportunity to join our Resilience here at MTW. This apprenticeship will involve working along side the Head of Fire and Safety on a daily basis to promote fire safety across the entire Trust. You will assist with inspections, investigations and risk assessments, as well as helping shape fire safety policy in the future. Along side this you will attend a fully accredited Fire Manager Apprenticeship over a two year period resulting in an industry recognised qualification in fire safety management.

The successful applicant must be able to manage their own schedule and meet deadlines, but will be supported by their line manager and the wider Resilience Team. There will be a need for flexibility in working hours and/or location. Travelling to other sites will be a requirement, however, when travelling between our two main hospital sites a free bus service is provided.

Applicants are encouraged to read the attached job description before applying.
