We are recruiting for a brand new and exciting Supervisory position, leading our Identification Suite Team. If you want to be a part of a team where going to work every day is truly fascinating, then this could be the role for you!
About the Role
Being a part of the Identification Suite Team involves building video identification parades of suspects and ‘distracters’ to show witnesses/victims in the hope they can pick out the person responsible for a crime.
This is a very specialist and technical role which involves drawing images from a database and editing them using Photoshop. The Team works to deadlines and are often required to turn work around quickly. As Team Leader, you will supervise a team of five.
The full role profile can be viewed here.
The weekly hours of 27.75 will be set in a rolling 6 week pattern. There will be a requirement to work some Saturday’s, some late shifts finishing at 8pm, as well as a requirement to be on call for some allocated Sunday’s and bank holidays. The Saturdays, late shifts, and on-call duties are already set within the 6 week pattern, but the successful candidate will have some flexibility to negotiate the other working days on appointment into the role.
This is a hybrid role, with an estimated 50/50 split between home working and the office at Park Gate police station. Whilst learning the role for the first few months, there is likely to be a requirement to be in the office more. Free staff parking is generally available, and the station is located just off the M27 and near the train station.
What does our successful candidate look like?
It is essential that you have previous line manager experience, understanding how to conduct performance reviews, quality assure work, manage attendance issues and address welfare concerns.
We do not expect you to have experience using our specific software/hardware, however, you do need to be confident using IT software/hardware with the ability to learn quickly and problem solve.
You will be required to communicate with members of the public who may be vulnerable so clear communication skills and empathy are essential. Communication with internal stakeholders, mainly Sergeants and Inspectors, will also be involved.
There is an expectation to travel to other sites across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. All travel will be done during working hours, using a pool car. It is therefore necessary that you hold a full UK driving licence.
