Secondment/Fixed Term Contract for 18 Months
In this role, you will deliver an efficient and timely response to matters related to dissatisfaction with the police service, while providing high‑quality administrative support to the Professional Standards Department.
You will be educated to a good standard and possess excellent literacy and numeracy skills. Recent experience using computer applications is essential, including databases and Microsoft Office, along with a willingness to learn new systems as required. Strong written and verbal communication skills are vital, enabling you to communicate confidently with colleagues at all levels, as well as with members of the public and partner agencies. You must be well organised, able to work under pressure, manage competing deadlines, and demonstrate initiative in your day‑to‑day work.
If you are a permanent member of staff applying for this role, please note it will be offered on a secondment basis. 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.
