Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s, Police, Crime and Fire Panel offers a unique opportunity for Greater Manchester residents to engage directly in the governance of their community's safety services.
The panel is currently recruiting for 2 independent members. Following the successful completion of the previous members' terms, we are looking for local people from diverse backgrounds who can bring a range of skills and expertise to be an effective independent member. Coming from a policing or fire background is not a requirement for being an independent member on a panel. Understanding what matters to local people is important to the role.
As an independent member, you will play a crucial role in shaping the strategic direction of Greater Manchester Police and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, ensuring they meet the needs of the public.
This position not only allows you to contribute to the welfare of your community but also provides a platform to challenge and enhance the effectiveness of local safety measures. With the power to influence key decisions, from budgeting to senior appointments, your voice can lead to tangible improvements in the services that protect and serve Greater Manchester.
This is an opportunity to make a significant impact while gaining insight into the inner workings of public service governance.
