Exciting Opportunity: Band 6 Incident Response Desk Dispatch Lead
An exciting opportunity has arisen to apply for six new positions as a Band 6 Incident Response Desk Dispatch Lead operating out of Broughton.
About the Role
The successful candidates will be responsible for the deployment of clinical, specialist operational assets and commanders to respond to incidents that require multiple resources to be deployed right up to critical and Major Incidents. You will be working as part of a team that includes Advanced Practitioners, HEMS trained clinicians as well as dispatchers.
Using the JESIP principles you will liaise with external emergency and NHS partners, maintaining up to date communications with operational and on scene commanders and clinicians, before cascading that information internally to the ROCC and the Duty Dispatch Leads. This will be a critical task so having dispatch experience and disciplined voice communications is essential.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be managed by the ROCC Tactical Commanders and will be required to manage dispatchers on a day to day basis and oversee breaks and the management of rotas, ensuring shifts are covered by trained personnel.
Training and Assessment

An assessment day will be conducted as part of the recruitment process with individuals informed of dates and location post the shortlisting process.
