Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) is a high-performing, innovative and progressive organisation focused on delivering outstanding prevention, protection and response services to achieve its vision; a Cheshire where there are no deaths, injuries or damage from fires and other emergencies.

The Service is seeking a dynamic leader with a passion for technology and innovation to join its Senior Leadership Team as the new Head of Digital, Data and Technology. Reporting directly to the Deputy Chief Fire Officer, the successful candidate will be the driving force behind our IT and digital transformation agenda. Providing strategic direction and planning alongside operational management, the head of service will ensure effective delivery of all IT systems and services and will champion a culture of continuous improvement using digital tools and technology.

The Service is in the process of re-establishing its ICT function after some time being provided externally. The post holder will be responsible for leading the strategic development of the department; shaping the future operating model, managing the transition, and developing new and transformational ways of working to improve performance and standards and ensure compliance.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious, forward-thinking individual, with the right technical knowledge and leadership skills to shape the digital vision, strategy and roadmap for the Service.

We are dedicated to advancing gender diversity at all levels of our organisation and strongly encourage applications from women, particularly for senior leadership roles where female representation remains limited across the fire and rescue service. We recognise that talent and potential are not defined solely by traditional career paths or checklists of experience, and we welcome applicants who can bring strategic vision, leadership, and a fresh perspective to this position.

Please note, all applications will be assessed purely on merit.

To apply candidates are required to submit a CV accompanied by a supporting statement of up to 2,000 words, that demonstrates suitability and provides relevant examples against the job description and person specification which can be found within the recruitment pack on our website at 

For an informal discussion about the role please contact the Executive Support team on to arrange a telephone call with Katie Whitehead, Head of Service Improvement.

Closing Date for Applications: 23/11/2025 Midnight.

Workplace Adjustments and Accommodations It is important that you consider at an early stage of the process if you would like to request arrangements that will assist you in completing the selection process. For example, in relation to disability; a neurodiverse condition such as dyslexia; pregnancy; religion or belief; or injury etc. Any requests for workplace adjustments will be treated with the utmost confidence.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) is committed to keeping vulnerable adults, children and young people safe from harm in all of the work that CFRS undertakes. CFRS recognises that it has a legal and moral obligation to safeguard these groups of people. Furthermore, it acknowledges that the protection of vulnerable adults, children and young people from harm is the responsibility of everybody within the organisation.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive leadership team and strongly encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those from groups historically underrepresented in the fire and rescue service. We value a broad range of perspectives and experiences, and welcome candidates who can demonstrate the strategic insight, leadership capability, and commitment to excellence that this role demands.
