Ideally, we need your help 8 hours a week between the office hours of 08:00-16:00. This is flexible and can be spread over a few days. This opportunity will be based at Surrey Police Headquarters located just outside of Guildford Town Centre, however, there may be a requirement to travel to other venues within Surrey – travel expenses will be reimbursed.
