VFBV

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, delegate support and volunteer engagement.

The position is a state role, but with emphasis and focus on providing support throughout CFA’s North East region (CFA Districts 12, 13, 22, 23 and 24).

This is an existing position, with the incumbent due to depart shortly.

In addition to relevant skills and experience outlined in the position description, candidates will need to understand CFA and volunteerism, be good listeners; be able to facilitate good consultation; ability to establish productive networks; navigate through complex issues resolution; be self-starters; have the ability to work remotely and have a passion to improve arrangements that benefit the welfare and efficiency of CFA volunteers.

Knowledge and understanding of VFBV will be highly regarded but is not a pre-requisite.

Extensive travel is required and flexible work base locations will be considered for the position, with the priority focus to assign a work location within the CFA North East Region.

Flexible working arrangements, to cater for extensive evening and weekend work, will be tailored to match the needs of our volunteer membership base.
