Emergency Planning Officer

When an emergency or major incident affects our communities, effective planning and preparation can make all the difference. As an Emergency Planning Officer, you'll play a vital role in helping West Northamptonshire Council prepare for, respond to and recover from emergency situations, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of residents, businesses and communities across the area.

Working within our Customer and Response Service, you'll be part of a specialist team responsible for developing emergency plans, strengthening organisational resilience and coordinating responses to emergencies and business continuity incidents.

This is a unique and varied role that combines project work, partnership working, training, planning and real-world incident response, offering the opportunity to make a genuine impact in a challenging and rewarding field. You'll work closely with emergency services, health partners, neighbouring authorities, voluntary organisations and internal services, helping to ensure West Northamptonshire is prepared for a wide range of risks and incidents.
