Business Continuity Planning Project Lead

$116,413 to $128,631 + 12% Super

Fixed Term - Full Time - 4 months

Location - Any VICSES Office

ROLE SUMMARY:

The Business Continuity Planning (BCP) Project Lead delivers VICSES' BCP Refresh project. Building on frameworks, templates and policies developed by an external supplier through a short initial engagement, the role will operationalise these across the organisation and see the refreshed plans through to full implementation.

After coordinating the supplier's brief discovery and design phase, the role will take a hands-on approach to implementation, working directly with volunteer units, regions, business units and offices to complete a full set of refreshed BCP and catastrophic fire day documents ahead of the high-risk weather season. The role suits someone with a sound working knowledge of business continuity or emergency management principles and the ability to engage credibly and practically with a diverse volunteer and staff workforce

WHO WE ARE:

Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) is a volunteer-based emergency service. Our highly skilled and equipped Volunteers are trained comprehensively in a wide range of emergency environments. To minimise the impact of emergencies when they occur and strengthen the community's capacity to recover swiftly and safely, VICSES focuses on working with communities and partners in building resilience to achieve more aware, informed and prepared communities. We support them to understand their risk and the relevance of taking action before, during and after emergency events.

As the largest road rescue network in Australia we have specialist teams that provide a 24/7 response to road accident and trauma incidents. We assist Victoria Police in search and rescue operations, and play an important role in supporting the Country Fire Authority (CFA), Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV), Parks Victoria and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) during major bushfire and emergency incidents.
