At Wiltshire Police, we are dedicated to making our community a safer place for everyone. Our team is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and service. We believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every member can thrive and make a meaningful impact. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking to advance, Wiltshire Police offers a range of opportunities to grow and develop.

Join us, and be part of a team that values courage, compassion, and dedication to public service. Help us to keep Wiltshire safe.

Wiltshire has lots of layers - prehistoric stones, wartime bunkers, secret trails and hidden churches. But behind all of that, keeping our community safe across the years are generations of quiet police work. Some of it heroic, some of it worrying, but all of it real.

We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity employer, and we’re committed to building an inclusive, diverse community that celebrates and welcomes everyone.

If there are any adjustments we could make to the recruitment and selection process to support you, please let us know.

Are you an inspirational senior police leader looking for a new challenge within a highly respected force?

Reporting to Wiltshire Police's DCC Mark Cooper, you will manage Wiltshire Police’s Crime, Justice and Vulnerability strategic area playing a pivotal role in ensuring we serve all our diverse communities by keeping them safe and preventing crime.

As part of the Chief Officer Group, you’ll lead continuous improvements in efficiency and effectiveness by driving performance and demand management, enhancing partnership collaborations and by embedding a culture of organisational learning.

In the ever-changing world of policing, we must do more with less - so a sharp commercial acumen and the ability to think outside of the box will be key.

You will also have experience in engaging and inspiring the entire workforce to deliver a culture that promotes and enables diversity and wellbeing. Your ability to innovate, deliver and demonstrate the corresponding results will be a prevailing feature of your career to-date.

• Individuals who previously qualified as eligible for chief officer appointments by virtue of successfully completing the senior police national assessment centre (senior PNAC) and the strategic command course (SCC)

• Strong and demonstrable operational policing experience, understanding the changing shape of policing and the requirements of our communities
• You’re experienced in leading business change with a sophisticated level of critical thinking, consistently looking beyond the obvious and exploring alternatives.
• A commutable living distance of up to one hour from our Headquarters based in Devizes would be desirable
