London Fire Brigade (LFB) is London’s Fire and Rescue Service – one of the largest firefighting and rescue organisations in the world. We are here to make London a safer city.
We employ over 5,500 people, across our operational team (our firefighters), control (our call handlers who answer your 999 calls) and our non-operational team (our teams who work behind the scenes to support our front-line services, including HR, IT, Finance, Procurement, Communications etc.).
An opportunity has arisen in Operational Resilience for an experienced Business Continuity Manager. The successful candidate will lead on the development, maintenance and management of LFB’s business continuity framework, including the implementation of business continuity processes and procedures. They will provide best practice advice to educate and enable the organisation to fulfil its strategic business continuity responsibilities at all levels. The role includes line management responsibility for two Business Continuity Officers.
