About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Local Resilience Forum Secretariat in Gloucestershire (GLRF).
The Local Resilience Forum is a partnership of emergency responders such as the emergency services, local authorities, environment agency and health partners who work together to ensure that Gloucestershire can effectively prepare for, respond to and recover from major incidents.

The post holder will be required to represent GLRF secretariat at multi-agency meetings and deliver occasional presentations. Experience of working with Microsoft Office functions that support the work of the LRF is essential.
