Job summary
Applications for this role are restricted to existing employees of the College of Policing, the Civil Service and officers or staff of a UK police force or UK policing organisation.
About us:
We’re the professional body for the police service in England and Wales. We work with everyone in policing to set standards, to share knowledge and good practice and to support the development of police officers and staff. Our mission is to drive a consistent approach across policing where the public and the service expect it, to boost professionalism and to improve leadership at every level.
Although we're a small organisation, our work has a big reach. We are uniquely placed to work both with national policing organisations and local forces to support frontline officers, staff and volunteers in their day-to-day roles.
We offer a supportive and inclusive environment for people to thrive. Our extensive flexible-working policy, employee wellbeing support, family friendly policies, employers’ network for equality and inclusion membership (ENEI silver award winners), and status as a disability confident leader means everyone can bring their whole self to work.
Job description
This is a unique chance to work with the Director of CPP to design and establish the centre from the ground up. You'll lead a talented team in delivering innovative data management, analytics capabilities including a Policing Data Hub, and hands-on support for forces to improve practices and performance. You’ll be managing substantial resources to achieve rapid, demonstrable results.
As a senior leader within the College, you’ll support the Executive Team to set a clear strategic vision and plan for the organisation, translating priorities into impactful programmes. Building strong stakeholder relationships internally and across the policing landscape will be crucial for tackling systemic issues and ensuring the College's role is well-recognised.
You’ll lead by example, championing ethics, integrity, and diversity in the workplace and across the police service. Building and leading a dedicated team will be crucial to delivering strategic objectives, as well as fostering a culture of continuous improvement and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across all activities. Excellent communication and people skills are a must.
Person specification
The successful candidate will have a Level 7 qualification or significant equivalent experience in a relevant field, along with proven leadership experience.
Join us in making a tangible difference to policing productivity and effectiveness. If you’re ready to take on a senior leadership role in transformative change and have the skills and experience we're looking for, we want to hear from you.
Please note that this role requires NPPV3/SC vetting, arranged through the College, and regular travel.
Please see the attached job description which contains full details of the role.
