***Three new and varied roles have been created within the recently restructured Workforce Development Department, which offer an opportunity to be part of a team of police officers, Specials and police staff delivering the innovative and successful recruitment and development of Special Constables in Hertfordshire.

The post holders will be responsible for managing the online recruitment process, from candidates’ initial registering of interest, shortlisting, telephone interviews and attendance at the monthly in-house assessment centre. Face to face interviewing will also form part of the post holders' remit.

Hertfordshire Special Constabulary (SC) recruitment supports the College of Policing’s Positive Action strategy and is committed to attracting and understanding the needs and motivations of prospective volunteer officers from under represented and diverse backgrounds.

The expectation will be that the post holders will also organise and attend evening SC information sessions for prospective candidates, arrange attestation ceremonies, monitor cohorts of officers during training and assist with data collection.

You must have excellent communication skills as you will be the central point of contact for the administrative function of Special Constabulary officers within several Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs), which includes managing the student officers’ Police Action Checklist database.

Flexibility is essential as you will be required to attend some evening Special Constabulary team meetings, within those CSPs, to provide administrative support as required.

There will be a requirement to support other uniformed recruitment campaigns, particularly PCSO recruitment and post holders may be asked on occasion to assist with regular police officer recruitment.

The post holders should be proficient in Microsoft Excel and Outlook.

These posts require flexibility in working hours, to accommodate evening and weekend recruitment events.
