This is an exciting opportunity to join the Emergency Preparedness and Business Continuity Team as an Emergency Preparedness & Business Continuity Supervisor
The Role
To supervise and contribute to the delivery of Emergency Preparedness, Business Continuity, Organisational Learning and Resilience functions, ensuring the MPS complies with statutory obligations under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004. The role combines specialist subject matter expertise with supervision of a mixed team of officers and staff, providing operational deployment, advice, and support during major incidents and business continuity events.
This is an operational role in regard to the Hybrid Working Policy. Police staff working in Operational roles will be required to work from a Met location. Line managers will have the autonomy to offer Hybrid Working opportunities, including WFH, for up to the equivalent of 1 day per week (no more than 20% working time) providing that there is no impact on operational delivery.
Working for the Met doesn’t have to mean patrolling the streets. Just as important as our uniformed officers is our 14,000-strong team of professional and support staff working behind the scenes. It’s these skilled people who provide the organisational capability to police London.
Duties and Responsibilities
- Lead, plan, and oversee the development and delivery of testing and exercising events, ensuring MPS compliance with the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.
- Create, implement, and test business continuity plans and business impact assessments across business groups, ensuring risks are escalated and governance processes are met.
- Deliver and monitor organisational learning processes by conducting debriefs, collating insights, and embedding improvements into operational practice to strengthen resilience.
- Supervise, task and quality-assure the work of a mixed team of 4–6 officers and staff, conducting performance reviews and managing attendance in line with MPS policies.
- Provide subject matter expertise and operational advice during major incidents, including attendance at Gold and Silver Command Suites and at the scene of incidents, to support tactical and strategic decision-making.
- Coordinate with partner agencies (e.g. London Resilience Forum, Local Authorities, NHS London, Transport for London) to deliver joint planning, exercising and risk review, ensuring multi-agency interoperability.
- Deliver training and presentations across the MPS and partner organisations, from frontline officers to management board and occasionally central government, to build resilience capability.
- Represent the MPS at internal and external meetings, ensuring that resilience and continuity obligations are met and promoting best practice.
- Manage and track compliance with MPS resilience, testing and exercising programmes, escalating risks or non-compliance where appropriate.
- Maintain professional knowledge of national frameworks, including JESIP, Strategic and Tactical Coordination Protocols, and Civil Contingencies legislation, applying these to all activities.
- Undertake on-call duty as Emergency Preparedness or Major Incident Advisor, providing 24/7 cover and rapid advice in response to critical incidents.
