Description

In early 2020, the London Fire Commissioner published the Transformation Delivery Plan (TDP) which set out those actions required to transform the organisation to address concerns raised by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) and the Grenfell Tower Inquiry (GTI) in late 2019.

This marked the beginning of the organisation's transformation journey and necessitated a restructure for the Transformation Directorate.

This new structure will provide the capabilities and capacity the London Fire Brigade (LFB) requires to sustain transformative change across the Brigade, deliver the Community Risk Management Plan (our strategy and response to risk in London) and enable the LFB to provide the best possible service to London and Londoners.

London Fire Brigade is looking for an exceptional Assurance Officer to join the Transformation Directorate.

This role will play an important supporting role in the definition, implementation, and maintenance of the Brigade's Enterprise Assurance Framework (EAF).

This post will provide assurance oversight, guidance, and support to managerial activity at the first line of defence and contribute to the delivery of a dedicated assurance programme of second line of defence activities (including assurance reviews) that validate outputs from the first line of defence.

Under the direction of the Assurance Manager, the role will deliver on a programme of second line of defence activities that provide organisational oversight and validate the outcomes and outputs from the first line of defence managerial supervision and oversight.

This will include assurance oversight of the EAF, involvement in the production of Board and Committee reports, briefing documents and policy level correspondence related to assurance matters to enable assessment on the adequacy of existing arrangements.

You will also lead on the tracking and chasing of audit actions, as well as undertaking post implementation reviews (including thematic reviews).

Ideally, we are looking for someone with a proven track record in this field and can communicate both verbally and in writing to a high standard to provide high quality written reports, briefs and presentations relating to the duties of the post as required.

You can manage your time effectively and represent the Directorate/Department/Team at both internal and external meetings as necessary and deputise for the Business Assurance Manager as required.
