PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT INTERVIEW SUB OFFICER WIGGLESWORTH
I have recently completed a Personal development Interview with Sub Officer Wigglesworth in accordance with AA29 and associated guidance notes. During the interview there were two issues raised which I hope you can offer advice on.
Firstly, I was asked about any “Personal Specification” the Brigade had for promotion to the rank of Station Officer. Secondly, the interview identified a training need in the area’s of human resource and time management skills.
In the first instance, I understand his query is in respect of the general requirements which may be applied during suitability assessments for rank. I have given him general advice and guidance, and the PDI process has identified a number of objectives for further development. However, to enable to fully assess further development or training needs appropriately, I would appreciate any further guidance you may be able to offer in respect of any identified generic specification for promotion to Station Officer.
In the second instance, I have identified a need for further development in the area of managing and dealing with people and time management. Although I can offer local guidance, and have set a nd agreed some objectives with Sub Officer Wigglesworth, could you recommend any further training which may be available at County Level specific to these areas?
I have explained to Sub Officer Wigglesworth that the PDI process is not intended as a promotion appraisal scheme and we have set and agreed a number of non related local targets. However, given his length of service and qualifications, I believe it is a reasonable expectation that we identify any particular requirements for further promotion we may have.
