We are a unique Service with unique challenges and operate in a complex policing environment.
We are looking for people who are outstanding leaders to effectively deliver on our organisational purpose, of Keeping People Safe, by contributing to the delivery of a service which is Victim, Community and Workforce focused, whilst we demonstrate in our behaviours and interactions, that we care, listen and act about what matters to the public, our partners and our staff.
Chief Superintendents lead a large and/or complex area of command within the Police Service of Northern Ireland and across collaborations, strategic alliances and partnerships, carrying responsibility for all activities in their area. They may also carry responsibility for strategic or policy lead for one or more areas of policing across the Service and will play a key role in the management of change.
Chief Superintendents also play a critical lead part in operational policing for major or critical events or incidents; planning and directing the activities in line with the legal framework and wider policing policies/objectives to uphold the law and ensure public safety and strengthen public confidence. This is conducted in a challenging dynamic operational environment, which is often politically charged.
Chief Superintendents contribute to the development of culture and working processes in their area of responsibility to ensure adherence to standards, and the promotion of accountability and continuous improvement in performance and public service.
This role carries specific legal powers to enable the maintenance of law and order. Candidates need to have the ability to focus on organisational capability, working to optimise the resources we have and meet the changing policing demands and challenging financial environment.
At the Chief Superintendent rank in the Police Service of Northern Ireland there are a diverse range of roles and disciplines including operational, detective, public order and counter terrorism.
In summary we are seeking people who are up for a significant challenge with a previous track record of managing risk, delivering change, challenging organisational culture and who possess a strong public service ethos.
For those applying from other Police Forces/Services, a relocation package to cover removal and incidental expenses is available. Police Service allowances will also apply.
