About You

Strengthen resilience where it really matters. Build real-world capability. Put your emergency planning expertise to work for a public purpose.
Could you use your emergency planning and business continuity experience to ensure our organisation, people, and partners are genuinely prepared for disruption?
We’re looking for an experienced and technically confident Resilience Manager to join the Mining Remediation Authority for a focused three-month period. You’ll join our Resilience team to move beyond plans on a shelf, helping us respond effectively when incidents happen and recover well afterwards.
You’ll thrive on being given an outcome rather than a detailed set of instructions, knowing how to scope work, engage the right people, and drive practical solutions to completion. You’ll bring credibility with operational colleagues, specialists, and senior leaders alike, alongside the confidence to constructively challenge existing arrangements where you see opportunities to make them stronger.
We’d love to hear from you if you have experience of:
  • Applying emergency planning, business continuity, or organisational resilience practically within a complex organisation.
  • Using key UK resilience doctrine and good practice, including the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, UK emergency response arrangements, JESIP, and the BCI Good Practice Guidelines (CBCI certification is essential for this role).
  • Working independently, prioritising your own workload, and taking full ownership of projects to deliver tangible results.
  • Moving seamlessly between technical resilience work, operational delivery, and strategic conversations, including briefing senior colleagues and presenting to groups.
  • Building effective relationships quickly and developing capability in others, rather than simply producing documentation.
You don’t need to meet every desirable criterion. If your experience comes from a related industry and you can demonstrate how your skills would transfer, we’d welcome your application.

About The Role

Joining our Resilience team and reporting directly to the Head of Resilience, you’ll take ownership of defined resilience projects with the professional freedom to drive work forward. This is a chance to make a real, immediate impact in a role with vital public and environmental purpose.
What you’ll be working on:
  • Strengthening resilience arrangements: reviewing and improving our contingency, emergency response, and business continuity plans across the Authority, leading projects from initial assessment through to practical delivery.
  • Building organisational capability: designing and delivering engaging incident management training, planning realistic exercises to test our people and plans, and mentoring operational colleagues.
  • Driving assurance and continuous improvement: providing clear advice during live incidents, facilitating structured debriefs to turn learning into action, and representing the Authority in multi-agency environments.
Over the three months, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your technical judgement, embed lasting improvements, and leave our resilience arrangements demonstrably stronger than you found them.
