Applications are invited from candidates wishing to join a team involved in the recovery and viewing of CCTV evidence in support of major crime investigations. You will need excellent communication skills to engage with the public and business owners in the vicinity of crime scenes; and excellent analytical and written skills to review material and prepare evidential reports. 

The successful candidate will be able to liaise and work with other agencies to support Major Crime investigations including the Highways Authority, local councils, public transport and private companies to develop professional relationships. 

Capability to travel across the Force is required in order to undertake assignments in a timely manner and work flexibly. Due to unsocial hours and personal safety for lone working public transport may not be suitable.  For this reason, a full driving licence is considered essential for this role.

Important: All secondments must be supported in writing by your Line Manager and Head of Department/Commander or Deputy. Please attach written approval from your line manager and Head of Department in your application. If the secondment is not supported then the role may be offered on a fixed term contract basis, but this has implications including loss of continuous service protections.

Please note: Shift allowance, on-call or other job related allowances from the previous role will not be protected unless they are attached to the new role for the duration of the secondment.
