The control room operates 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, it’s a pressured environment, but it is also a hugely rewarding place to work. Knowing you have helped someone at one of the worst times in their life is incredibly satisfying.

We want people who are calm under pressure, have attention to detail, be able to multitask and the determination to deal with those in need with empathy and professionalism and are keen to progress with an expectancy of reaching a controller position which will involve direct communication with officers.

Join us in helping protect our communities from harm  - we are recruiting for a pool of people for intakes over the next six to twelve months. The department operates full time and flexible part time patterns who are able to work the core shift pattern. 

Applications will be shortlisted on a weekly basis.
