Assistant Chief Fire Officer - Service Transformation

Location: Gloucester

Salary: up to £120,000 per annum

Vacancy Type: Full time

Closing Date: Monday 20th of October 2025 at 09:00

The organisation are seeking an inspirational Assistant Chief Fire Officer to join them in Gloucestershire and the wider Community Safety Directorate within Gloucestershire.  Your role will be to help shape their Service’s future and deliver the next stage of transformational growth. You will play a key role within a values-driven leadership team, championing inclusivity, integrity, and continuous improvement, whilst ensuring their Service is truly representative of the communities they serve.

Ideally, you will have previous experience within a Fire and Rescue Service, working at Area Manager level. Competence in commanding significant operational incidents is also required, and you must have relevant accreditation (e.g., MAGIC/ICL3 or 4).

However, they welcome external applications from individuals who are not currently working within the Fire and Rescue Services sector as well as those currently conditioned to the Green, Grey and Gold Book FRS Conditions of Service. If the successful individual is not from a traditional FRS operational background, transitional operational development training will be provided. 

If you are passionate about creating a high-performing, motivated team and building a culture of inclusion, trust and excellence through organisational transformation and change, they want to hear from you.

Join them and help make the organisation an exemplar service both regionally and nationally. Shape their journey to ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’.
