PS/261/H A2 Business Support Assistant - Prosecutions

An opportunity has arisen to join the collaborated Prosecutions’ Administration team in the role of Business Support Assistant.

This role will mainly require the successful applicant to administer case files for court, inputting them onto a bespoke database, liaising with colleagues in the wider force, local authorities and CPS. Our Business Support Assistants collate evidence from a number of sources in order to ascertain if a case goes to court. All enquiries are conducted from the single administration unit in Stevenage on behalf of all three forces.

We are looking for candidates with a high standard of administration experience and attention to detail, working within tight deadlines. We use various IT packages, so you should be IT literate and be able to manage quantities of workload in a busy environment.

We deal directly with the public, so customer service experience is essential to be able to speak to a wide variety of people and represent the force appropriately. This unit carries a large workload, so the ability to work under pressure unsupervised is essential.

For further information about the role please contact Michelle Rowe on Ext 8829 or direct 01707 638829

For the purposes of the application you will be expected to provide evidence against the four personal qualities below and the entry requirements:
• Service Delivery

Please note that in the first instance priority will be given to any applicants in a redeployment situation.

Any individuals in a redeployment situation who are interested in applying for the role should contact the HRST (HREnquiries@herts.pnn.police.uk) and request the redeployee application form.

Please note that with immediate effect: Police Staff at risk of redundancy (redeployees) are given priority for all vacant posts. This means that if a candidate is successful for a position following an interview/assessment, the role will still be available to redeployees up until the successful candidate has received a final offer of employment.
