Are you interested in working within the criminal justice system in a core role supporting the police?
Do you have the empathy to work with vulnerable people?
We are looking for people who want to make a difference working alongside the Police in custody suites, caring for detainees – from supporting them during the time spent in custody, completing forensic samples, and working with other agencies to support and help with detainees' rehabilitation.
Previous experience working within the police, security, or armed forces would be beneficial, but we will train you in full on an Initial Training Course even without previous experience.
You will be expected to use a computer and various programs competently during your working day.
The role requires the flexibility to work not only in your base Custody suite but across an assigned region in the Police Custody Suites and Force area.
A little more about the role…
The custody suites can be an energetic place to work, with no two shifts the same. Whilst detained, we provide individuals with all their physical and mental healthcare and wellbeing needs. As well as escorting detainees and making recorded observations as per their individual plan, you will work with colleagues and the Police to deal with any detainee that is at risk of harming themselves.
You will be working in a small team alongside Police Officers while also having the support of experienced Senior Custody Detention Officers to learn from.
What you can earn:
* £13.75 per hour
What are the minimum requirements?
* Previous Police/Security/forces experience would be beneficial.
* You will just need a reasonable level of spoken and written English and basic numeracy.
* Competent in IT and using a computer.
* Full valid driving licence.
* Lived in the UK for a minimum of 3 years.
* Have a valid British passport or settled status.
* All candidates are subject to police vetting checks - a clean driving/criminal record is essential.
Once you have passed our selection and vetting process, you will begin your Police Services career by completing a 3-week initial training course (ITC) Monday to Friday 8am - 5pm on FULL PAY. You will then have continued development.
