Opportunity overview

TWFRA ('the Authority') is the publicly accountable body that oversees the policy and service delivery of Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service ('the Service') on behalf of the community. The Service successfully leads the operational delivery of fire and rescue services such as public protection, fire and other emergency prevention, operational response and resilience. Our stations, staff and appliances are strategically placed across Tyne and Wear to ensure efficient and effective response to fires and other emergencies. Appliances work across station areas and can be mobilised whilst away from their home station. We also have robust arrangements with neighbouring services to enable additional support during major emergencies. TWFRS is seeking a provider to deliver the SFJ Awards Level 5 Certificate in Fire Investigation, a nationally accredited qualification that develops advanced skills in fire and explosion investigation. The programme must enable TWFRS investigators to competently examine scenes, collect and analyse evidence, produce accurate reports, and present findings in legal proceedings, ensuring compliance with professional standards and enhancing organisational capability.
