The purpose of the Vetting Unit is to carry out various background checks on job applicants for those who wish to work within the police community and to make decisions to their suitability. These checks are designed to ensure the integrity of the police service by minimising the risk of corruption.
The Vetting team based in Letchworth Garden City currently consists of 39 people who conduct this type of work but a crucial part of the unit’s success is to ensure that the main vetting database is up to date with changes and contains accurate information, as well as the management of a busy team inbox. The database is also used to provide management information statistics and to manage the workflow. It is this database work and inbox where you will spend most of your time, using your own initiative at times, so you will need to be self-managed, well organised and particularly keen on attention to detail and accuracy.
In addition to managing the team inbox you will liaise with internal departments and external companies by email and/or phone to ensure they supply accurate information for the database. You will send and receive emails between departments in order for additional checks to be conducted. In addition, you will send and receive various forms from internal and external departments or similar.
Additional Information
All internal applicants must have successfully completed their probationary period to apply for this role.
Internal applicants within Bedfordshire Police, Cambridgeshire Constabulary or Hertfordshire Constabulary (BCH), should upload either a CV or provide relevant skills, experiences and qualifications on Word/PDF document.
