Self Rostering Brief The Fire and Rescue Authority has identified future restrictions on the revenue budget. Therefore maximising the effective use of resources is our current and future objective. The Self Rostering project aims to deliver an effective and efficient level of service to South Wales’ communities where an existing fire station experiences low levels of activity against a backdrop of low risk, such as Penarth, New Inn and Maesteg. Research has indicated changing shift patterns and staffing levels can achieve a reduction in staff costs without any detriment to the level of fire cover to the community. The proposed changes include the following benefits. • There is potential to save in the region of £500k per station per annum. • The introduction of Self-rostering as an alternative crewing arrangement will maintain the current standards of emergency response to the communities of Penarth, New Inn and Maesteg • The proposed new shift pattern provides the staff with a greater level of flexibility regarding the shifts they wish to work. • The proposed new shift pattern would attract financial benefits to the staff through additional allowances 17 New PPE
