The London Fire Brigade (LFB) performs a vital service to everyone who lives or works in our Capital City, as well as the millions who visit every year. We exist to make London a safer city.
LFB is one of the largest firefighting and rescue organisations in the world, employing over 5,000 people across an eclectic variety of professions ranging from our extraordinary firefighters to the brilliant people who support them in every conceivable professional function.
The tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017 highlighted many ways where we need to change, and we are committed to doing everything we can to learn and apply the lessons from that tragedy. LFB has undergone significant transformation, including delivering all the recommendations of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 report. We will continue our journey of improvement, particularly in response to Phase 2 of the Inquiry.
We are also committed to making the London Fire Brigade a safe workplace culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and is free from discrimination, bullying and harassment. We will do everything we can to ensure that we are the most modern, capable and effective emergency service that we can be. Our great city and its people deserve no less than that.
The next London Fire Commissioner will be an outstanding leader who is as successful in major operational command as they are at inspiring and engaging our talented workforce. They will balance strong strategic vision with the skill and judgement required to manage a very complex range of external stakeholders and partners, including political leaders at local, regional and national levels.
This is a rare opportunity to take on a career-defining role leading one of the country’s most iconic organisations. One that offers a chance to make a major difference to the lives of millions of people in the greatest capital city in the world.
