Operational Crew Commander - Transfer in

West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) is the second largest fire and rescue service in England, serving an area of 902km square and a population of over 2.9 million people.

Our vision is ‘Making the West Midlands safer, stronger and healthier’.

This vision and the strategic goals outlined in ‘Our Strategy’ are what drives the people, professionalism and pride with which we serve our communities.

West Midlands Fire Service is looking for enthusiastic, self-motivated leaders to join our team as Crew Commanders. Vacancies are available across the West Midlands. As a Crew Commander, you will thrive in a dynamic environment, managing and developing teams while instilling a culture of professionalism and pride. You will plan and coordinate workloads, drive organisational strategy, and maintain the highest standards of excellence in everything you do.

Opportunities are open to:

Competent wholetime firefighters

Existing wholetime Crew Commanders

We welcome applications from all eligible candidates. However, as women and Black and minority ethnic employees are currently under-represented in our service, we particularly encourage applications from these groups.

WMFS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults. We expect the same of every staff member.

Successful candidates will be subject to necessary pre-employment checks, including - where applicable - relevant level Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, qualifications, medical clearance, identity and right to work. All applicants will be required to provide two suitable references.
