The Resilience Staff Officer role supports the Civil Resilience Lead in the development of policy relating to Civil Contingencies matters, and in drafting plans and procedures that ensure the MCA complies with its duties, which will enable HM Coastguard, through its officers and responders, to deliver an effective and comprehensive response to Major Incidents.
The role holder will also support tactical and strategic response teams responding to complex and protracted emergencies, and liaise with other emergency response partners, agencies and working groups to facilitate shared understanding of risks and capabilities for responding to civil emergencies within the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, as well as occasional international liaison.
This role offers the opportunity to and work across multiple services as well as many different teams across UK. The successful candidate will work with a variety of stakeholders with diverse interest in what they do, work collaboratively, get involved in problem solving, becoming more data driven, exploring data and getting value out of data using it for evidence based decisions.
Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Assist the Civil Resilience Lead in developing HMCG strategy in meeting its obligations under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, staying up to date with current legislation and guidance and developing workable, robust solutions for delivering those obligations within the context of maritime, coastal, aeronautical rescue, and counter pollution and salvage, developing effective, practical response arrangements to incidents and requests for mutual aid assistance.
- Be a point of contact for advice on business continuity arrangements for HMCG. Assist with regular planning and testing of the BCP to provide assurance to the Director of HM Coastguard that mitigation for unplanned loss of functions, technical capability, or staff is effective in maintaining delivery of core Coastguard functions.
- Contribute to planning and delivery of professional and technical development of Coastguard staff through webinars, face to face training sessions or workshops, and facilitate joint learning opportunities that further improve the capability and effectiveness of HMCG in the multi-agency resilience community.
- Provide support to assist other responder agencies and partners understanding of HMCGs functions, powers, responsibilities, capabilities and response structures through production of written and electronic reference material, delivering briefings in multi-agency forums, and participation in joint learning events and exercises.
