Finally, it is beneficial if you possess political and administrative insight.

Who are we?

To manage large-scale incidents, emergency services and their crisis partners collaborate in an expanded capacity within the crisis response organization. The Flevoland and Gooi en Vechtstreek Safety Bureau, together with various chain partners, ensures that in the event of an emergency, a crisis response organization is in place with well-trained personnel, detailed plans, and available locations from which to operate. Currently, the Flevoland and Gooi en Vechtstreek Security Bureau is in the midst of a development process centered on the key principles of expertise, flexibility, and reliability.

The Incident Management (IM) team ensures that the necessary conditions—including personnel, cooperation agreements, information (plans, procedures, and up-to-date information), and resources—are in place, available, and ready for action. In addition, as a team, we are also responsible for conducting multidisciplinary evaluations. Our primary goal is to ensure that the crisis response organization functions optimally.

What do we offer?

First and foremost, we offer you a challenging position and a great team within a dynamic and relevant organization. In addition, we offer you a one-year temporary contract with the prospect of permanent employment at the Flevoland Fire Department. The salary is up to €4,671.00 gross per month (job grade 10, salary level as of April 1, 2022), based on a 36-hour workweek. In addition, you will receive 17.05% of your gross salary in the form of an Individual Choice Budget (ICB). You can use this ICB as you see fit, for example, for extra time off or cash. Specifically, we offer the opportunity to be trained as an evaluator for multidisciplinary incidents and to serve in the on-call role of Information Manager. All this within an environment that fosters learning and development.

You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to develop your skills by taking professional courses or training programs through the GoodHabitz online platform. In addition, we offer a 100% reimbursement for commuting expenses when using public transportation. You’ll accrue pension benefits through the ABP.

The current location is Lelystad, but this will change to Hilversum in 2025 following the completion of the Interregional Coordination Center (IRCC) for the Gooi- en Vechtstreek and Flevoland safety regions. The Flevoland and Gooi- en Vechtstreek Safety Agency will be housed in the IRCC.
