This role requires strict adherence to the Home Office Counting Rules and National Crime Recording Standards, with a strong emphasis on accuracy and timeliness.
Teamwork is essential in this role, as you will collaborate closely with various policing departments and officers to ensure victims receive services in line with the current Victims Code. You will receive comprehensive training and a supportive coaching plan to help you understand and apply the current crime standards effectively.
We value continued professional development, and you will have opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge as you progress in your role.
