Job Overview

In our Emergency Services Control Centre, we are at the front line of policing, providing that vital first point of contact between the public, partners, and operational Police Officers, including our Honorary colleagues.

 

A unique job for a unique person, this role demands a friendly, patient, broad minded individual with a positive attitude who can be there when people need it most. You must be able to work as part of a close knit, supportive team and make decisions in situations which may be frustrating or distressing for the caller.

 

Within this role you will play a critical role in our response to both emergency and non-emergency calls, providing a first-class service to the public. You will be resilient, reliable, and able to cope in a pressured environment – your decision-making skills will be key. You will receive a huge variety of calls, often challenging in nature. At times you will be talking to people in potentially dangerous or vulnerable situations – they may be distressed or panicked, and it is down to your ability to stay calm and help determine the most appropriate response to make sure they get the assistance they need.

 

Resilience is a key factor of the role. It’s a 24/7 job so there will be times when you are working weekends, bank holidays and even Christmas Day some years. There will also be times when you are feeling tired and still having to take those extremely difficult and sometimes traumatic calls. Whilst it’s true that this is not a job for the faint-hearted, on the other hand you will be working in a great environment with plenty of support as part of the police Family.

 

Shift pattern:

The role is 24/7 365 days a year and we work shifts to achieve this which sees Control Room Officers attached to one of five operational teams, working a 5-week rotational pattern, consisting of days, lates, and nights.

 

If successfuly the shortlisted candidtaes will undergo a PIR and typing test, then an interview for those who are successfuly.
