Through careful analysis of fires, fire injuries and fire deaths, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service has identified certain groups, communities and individuals as being at greater risk from fire than others. The post holder will develop links with partners who work with ‘At Risk Groups’ and co-ordinate the activities of the Service as they relate to people in the community. The post holder will play a key role in the development of safety promotion and awareness sessions for ‘At Risk Groups’, initiating activities to improve their protection from fire, and working towards the sustainability of safety within those groups. A large proportion of the role will include delivering Safe and Well visits in the homes of vulnerable people and delivering Shropshire Fire and Rescue Services Prevention strategy, working with statutory partners and attending forums which represent the interests of vulnerable people. Applicants must have a strong empathy and background of working with vulnerable groups within their home environment. They must have analytical, problem solving or creative skills and must be able to work on their own initiative. A full valid driving licence is essential. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a DBS check before the appointment is confirmed. The closing date for applications is Sunday 18th May 2025.
