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. Position is a State role, with emphasis and focus on providing support throughout CFA’s North East Region (Districts 12, 13, 22, 23 and 24). This is an existing position, with the incumbent leaving 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 this position, with the priority focus in the West region covering CFA Districts 12, 13, 22, 23 and 24. Applicants living outside the North East, 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 their 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 position description.
Applications close Tuesday 3rd October 2017
Any questions or queries re the application process should be directed to Cathie Smith from the VFBV Office on (03) 9886 1141 or via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Any interested applicants to the VFBV Support Officer position, are also encouraged to speak to one of our existing VFBV Support Officers (Glenn, Mark, Angela, Peter and Mary Anne) and/or State Councillors who would be more than happy to give members a sense of the role.
