The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) National Resilience (NR) CBRN(e) capability encompasses Detection, Identification, and Monitoring (DIM) and Mass Decontamination (MD) capabilities. The existing team of four officers works collaboratively to address CBRN(e) cross-capability challenges and ensure effective multi-agency interoperability.

As part of the Home Office Review of National Resilience Capabilities, the NR DIM capability has undergone a significant uplift, including enhancements to vehicles, equipment, and PPE. A key remaining element is the implementation of NextGen PPE, requiring dedicated focus.

To support this, we are seeking a DIM Capability Officer on secondment to assist in delivering this critical work alongside the existing Station Manager.

Responsibilities

The secondee’s specific responsibilities will depend on their skills, experience, and capacity but will broadly include:

• Managing assurance or training activities linked to NextGen PPE implementation.
• Supporting wider DIM capability work as required.
• Providing operational cover as part of National Resilience.

All activities will be undertaken under the oversight of the Group Manager to ensure alignment with National Resilience objectives.

Qualifications

• Successfully completed all DIM initial acquisition courses.
• Must be a current DIM Officer or Advisor in their Home FRS.
• Successfully completed a recognised Incident Command Course.
• Experience of NR assets and procedures with a particular focus on the CBRN(e) DIM Capability.

You must seek prior approval from your Chief Fire Officer to be released on secondment.
