PS/049/H A4 Case Conference Liaison Officer

An opportunity has arisen within the Joint Child Protection and Investigation Team (JCPIT) for an additional Case Conference Liaison Officer to meet the rising demand in respect of children subject of protection plans. You will have responsibility for representing Hertfordshire Constabulary and making decisions at multi-agency child protection case conferences. In addition you will be expected to deliver specialist training to police colleagues and multi-agency professionals when necessary.

Working with minimal supervision and able to satisfy the Constabulary’s criteria for remote working, your role will require you to interrogate and evaluate police information systems, prepare written reports and communicate this information to professionals and parents at conferences. You will need to have a meticulous attention to detail and demonstrate a practical application of police legislation as this is a key area upon which you will be challenged. A full driving licence is essential as you will need to travel throughout the county to attend conference meetings. This is a full time position Monday to Friday and although predominantly 0900-1700, you will need to be very flexible in your approach to meet the demands of the role.

Interested staff may contact DS 53 Sue Warren on 4968.
Due to the nature of the role, the successful candidate will be required to pass a psychological assessment with the Occupational Health Unit.

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
