People
We are committed to strengthening our ability to provide an excellent service by diversifying our staff, promoting inclusion and creating a fair and equal workplace.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue is a workplace where all staff are valued and supported and feel they belong, in an environment free from bullying, harassment, discrimination, abuse and harm. We want our employees to bring their authentic selves to work every day so they can thrive and continue to help keep our communities safer by delivering services that are professional, inclusive, safe and inspire public confidence and trust.
We are proud of our reputation as the emergency service people turn to when no one else can help. We also recognise that what is good today, may not be good enough tomorrow. To this end, we continue to embrace a culture of continuous improvement to build on our strengths and positively impact lives, both our own and those of the communities we serve.
Our vision is to have a ‘healthy, happy and resilient workforce.’ We are committed to ensuring a healthy and safe working environment which supports all staff in maintaining and enhancing their personal health and wellbeing at work. We do this by prioritising preventative health initiatives and providing the tools and support to encourage managers and staff to stay fit, happy and healthy.
We also want to ensure all staff have access to a whole health and wellbeing offering, enabling them to access the support needed to keep and enhance their physical, mental, social, and financial wellbeing. This intrinsically aligns with Lincolnshire County Council’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
To thrive in a constantly changing environment, we rely on having people with the capabilities and behaviours needed for current and future organisational success. This not only means having the right people in the right roles but also that these people have access to opportunities to help them progress and reach their potential, whether this is in their current role or for a future position.
We must also make sure that our workforce is 100% competent in their core skills to ensure we continue to keep our communities safer. Fundamental to this goal is the development and provision of high-quality training, opportunities and talent management processes aligned to national guidance.
