Hybrid Working

SPA Forensic Services currently operates a hybrid working policy which is designed to suit the needs of both the organisation and staff.

For eligible roles this can mean that a proportion of the working week can be worked routinely from home, through discussion and agreement with your line manager.

If you would like more details on the possibility of hybrid working for the particular role you are considering applying for, please contact Recruitment in the first instance.

There will be an online presentation including an opportunity for questions, and an engagement day at Cornwall Mount Police Headquarters in Dumfries. At the engagement day there will be presentations, demonstrations of forensic techniques and Scene Examiners will be present to answer any questions about the role and working in the forensics with SPA.
