What will I do in this position if hired?


In this Supervisory Emergency Management Specialist (Response) position, you will be leading a team consisting of staff at several duty stations executing the full range of Field Operations Directorate (FOD) missions in Region 2.


Typical assignments include:
Advancing all areas of qualification and progression for Regional and deployed personnel supporting open and active disasters to develop experienced leaders to include coordinating with Cadres for candidate Qualification Review Board
Managing titling assignment with Cadres for Regional and deployed personnel supporting open and active disasters
Conducting research and analysis to mature FEMA's time-phased force deployment practices to achieve procedural, cost and resource allocation efficiencies
Managing the process analyzing staffing posture likely needs, and potential shortfalls in the Deployment Tracking System for open and active disasters
Training, coaching, mentoring, and supporting staff assigned during steady state and when deployed.
Serving as FEMA's Workforce Support Unit Leader and/or in other positions in support of open and active disasters.

What else do I need to know?


At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters, and every employee at FEMA has a role in emergency management.

Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites.

All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description.

Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.

This announcement is for a position as a CORE (Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employee). CORE employees are full-time employees hired to directly support the response and recovery efforts related to disasters.

Appointments to CORE positions are typically between two years and four years in duration and may be renewed based upon workload needs and funding availability.

Employees are hired under the Robert T.

Stafford Act and are excluded from the provisions of title 5, United States Code, governing jobs in the competitive service.

They can be hired under a streamlined process instead of a competitive process.

After three years of continuous service, Stafford Act employees may be granted competitive eligibility to apply for permanent full-time positions at FEMA.

FEMA is committed to ensuring that its workforce reflects the diversity of the nation.

At FEMA, our workforce includes the many identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, ages, cultures, and beliefs of the people we serve.
