Sergeant promotion/transferee opportunities February 2025

We are pleased to announce that the promotion and transferee process for the rank of sergeant is now live. We are looking for innovative, operationally credible, and capable individuals who have a proven track record of improving performance to help us remain one of the safest places in the country.

Our sergeants are one of the most critical leadership roles in the force. As well as tackling the day-to-day operational challenges that policing brings, you are also required to ensure the effective daily supervision, guidance and support of officers and staff ensuring that your teams perform to the best of their ability.

Leadership Style - We value and reward leaders who coach, inspire and develop their team, taking care to understand their needs as well as what's expected of them, and how this fits more broadly to the delivery of our strategic aims and objectives.

Outstanding Communication Skills - Whether that's with teams, peers, partner agencies and our communities, making sure we continue to value and embrace difference.

Professionalism & Integrity - Practicing our values and ethical standards is commonplace, you will take ownership to collaborate, resolve problems, sustain resilience, and demonstrate courage in dealing with difficult and challenging situations.

Performance Management - Continuously reviewing and evaluating both your own as well as team performance against expected standards, providing objective, effective feedback, and challenge where necessary.

Decision Making - You'll be comfortable in making clear, objective, and timely decisions ensuring others feel trusted, supported, and empowered to take responsibility to do the right thing themselves.
