Opportunities for Military Personnel
Job Details
Full Job Description
If you've recently left or are looking to leave the military, or are a military reservist we want you!
**Please note this will not be an application to become a
Police Officer - this is purely a Talent Management Scheme which will
take more information about you and your experience to ensure your
expertise is shared with the applicable departments if you are
successful in your Police Officer application**
If
you're looking to be a Police Officer or for one of our many
Specialist Staff Officer roles and have served for 4 years or more,
you can apply without a Level 3 qualification - we recognise the
skills and experience gained from a career in the military can be of
great value to West Midlands Police and the communities that we
serve.
Applicants who have served for less than 4 years are
still encouraged to apply and will be considered on a case by case
basis.
Our organisation has made it easier for Military
Service Leavers (including reservists) to join. The Recognition of
Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) initiative replaces the requirement
for candidates to have a Level 3 qualification before joining our
force. Our new RPEL initiative considers an individual’s learning
experience and professional achievements outside of formal education
and traditional training.
Once you've completed training,
you will be able to consider further opportunities including promotion
and specialisms within our Force. You could choose to work within
Firearms, with our Dogs, in Complex Investigation teams or on Roads
Policing; the possibilities are endless!
West Midlands Police also operate an ex-military Talent Management Programme, identifying individuals with unique skills & abilities, both prior to joining and as a student officer, signposting them to key roles within our business.
Please note - not all of our staff roles have a requirement for qualifications at Level 3.
