A big function of this role will be creating content that really connects with the communities we police. We’re looking for someone who can tell our stories in a clear, honest, and engaging way - content that helps build trust, encourages real conversations, and shows people who we are and what we’re doing for them.

Your work will help make sure our messages feel genuine and relatable, so people are more likely to get involved, speak up, and feel confident in their local police.

Duties will include a range of administrative tasks including minute and action/note taking, updating action plans, registers and logs, arranging meetings and appointments for Command team members, including travel and accommodation where appropriate and dealing with day to day enquires.

Recent experience of working with computer applications is required, including databases and Microsoft Office applications with a willingness to learn new programmes. Excellent written and oral communication skills are required with the ability to communicate at all levels of the organisation and externally with the public or partner agencies.
