Overview
Are you looking for a role where you can use your strong stakeholder management skills and experience?
Whenever there’s an emergency in Scotland, a number of different organisations immediately start working together to tackle it. Working together, these organisations form a ‘resilience partnership’, which helps them to coordinate, collaborate and share information. Standing regional and local resilience partnerships meet year-round across Scotland to plan for emergencies and to take part in exercises to test those plans.
This role will involve being a Scottish Government Liaison Officer to support Resilience partnerships in times of emergency and in their planning for emergencies, offering an opportunity for a B3 to join the Civil Contingencies Liaison Team within Civil Contingencies Division.

The Civil Contingencies Liaison Team is the main point of contact with the Resilience Partnership structure and works collaboratively with policy areas and a wide range of stakeholders to facilitate, support and advise on multi-agency emergency planning, response and recovery across Scotland.
Civil Contingency Liaison Officers are the interface between the Scottish Government and response partners, serving Ministers and meeting partner needs. The team works in partnership to set the strategic direction and support responders to meet their Civil Contingencies Act duties.
This involves delivering training, supporting partners in their planning and acting as Scottish Government Liaison Officers during incidents.
