The Shire of Dandaragan is inviting applications from interested candidates for the position of Community Emergency Services Coordinator (CESC) on a permanent full-time basis, located in Jurien Bay.
About the Role
This role will be responsible for strengthening the Shire of Dandaragan’s resilience to fire, natural hazards, and other emergencies by developing, implementing, and coordinating comprehensive emergency management functions. This role ensures that the Shire, in partnership with volunteers, government agencies, and the community, is prepared for, protected against, responds to, and recovers effectively from emergency events.
In 2024, the Shire successfully introduced a Fire Duty Officer roster, allowing the CESC to share on-call responsibilities with other officers. This approach promotes wellness, worklife balance, and sustainable workload management during the high-threat bushfire season. As part of this system, the successful candidate will enjoy up to six weeks of oncall
duty relief between 1 October and 31 March, arranged upon negotiation with the manager.
This opportunity will allow the successful candidate to join a diverse and collaborative team, along with flexible working arrangements and generous employment conditions. Applications are welcomed from individuals with suitable experience, who are self motivated and looking to join a progressive Local Government.
