VFBV is seeking to appoint a VFBV Support Officer to work in regional Victoria with VFBV District Councils, Brigades and volunteers to facilitate consultation, issues resolution and volunteer engagement. This position is a State role, with emphasis and focus on providing support throughout CFA’s West Region (Districts 15, 16 and 17). This is an existing position, with the incumbent vacating the role.
In addition to relevant skills, candidates will need to understand CFA and volunteerism, be good listeners and be able to navigate through complex issues resolution, be self-starters and have a passion to improve arrangements that benefit the welfare and efficiency of CFA volunteers.
Extensive regional Victorian work travel is envisaged and flexible work base locations will be considered for the position, with the priority focus to assign a support officer in the CFA West Region covering Districts (15,16,17). Applicants living outside the west, but within a reasonable distance (neighbouring districts) will also be considered.
Flexible working arrangements, to cater for extensive evening and weekend work, will be tailored to match the needs of our volunteer membership base.
This is a full time position giving the right candidate an opportunity to really put his/her stamp on the VFBV of the future.
All applications must include both a current resume and a cover letter addressing the key selection criteria outlined in the attached position description.
