Chief Constable Chris Todd is inviting applications for Deputy Chief Constable at Humberside Police.
Humberside Police is consistently recognised as one of the most highly performing forces in the country. In 2022 our PEEL grades were the best in the country, and we are responsible for pioneering the ‘Right Care, Right Person’ initiative, which provides much needed support to ensuring vulnerable people are treated by the appropriate service and reduces pressure on policing.
This is an exciting time to join Humberside as Chief Constable Chris Todd is working on the next phase of strategic plans to ensure the organisation is:
- Victim Focused
- Community Focused
- Workforce Focused
The Deputy Chief Constable will ensure the Chiefs vision is brought to life by building public and organisational trust and confidence, enabling the delivery of a professional, effective and efficient policing service.
You will be joining a dedicated Chief Officer team who are committed to listening and engaging with our people to build a culture of trust, innovation, and high performance where our staff and communities continue to have a voice in what we do and how we do it.
We care about our people, and the communities we serve, and are proud of our award-winning wellbeing initiatives and the investments we have made in developing our people to reach their full potential. This was reflected in us being announced as the 2023 Police Force of the Year at the IESE Public Sector Transformation Awards.
Requirements for the role
- Do you have the experience and competence to lead the delivery of outstanding policing to the communities of Humberside?
- Do you have a proven track record of delivering continuous improvement, innovation and high standards of performance in a complex policing environment?
- Do you demonstrate the highest levels of respect, integrity and fairness in everything you do?
- Do you have exceptional leadership skills and an ability to navigate political and operational complexities inherent in policing?
Our force area
With a resident population of approximately one million, the communities served by Humberside are diverse, from the stunning rural areas of East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire to the busy city of Kingston upon Hull and large towns of Scunthorpe and Grimsby. We have expansive areas of natural beauty, history and heritage, alongside a thriving cultural scene. You may remember Hull was UK City of Culture in 2017, a title we’re still riding high on.
We’re well connected. The Humber Bridge connects the North and South banks of the Humber Estuary and the M62 and M1 provides easy access to the whole country. Not to mention the direct rail services, an international airport and ferry port with daily crossings to mainland Europe.
We are proud to have Humberside in our name and be one of the region’s biggest employers.
