Do you have what it takes to make critical decisions in emergency situations?
Think you could be the reassuring voice at the end of the phone for people during their hour of need?
Do you want a career at the frontline of policing? One which will challenge you, excite you and where no two days are the same?
If so, we want to hear from you.
Durham Constabulary is recruiting now with wages starting from £19,452 per annum equating to £25,482 with shift and weekend allowances, rising to £27,124.
Applicants must have 4 GCSEs including English Language or Literature (Grade 9 to 4/A to C) or an approved equivalent
Assistant chief officer, Gary Ridley, said: “Our call handlers are at the very forefront of policing and crucial to help those we serve as the first person someone in distress will speak to.
“If you think you’ve got what it takes and want a job like no other, I’d encourage you to apply.”
Joy Allen, Police and Crime Commissioner said: “Our call handlers are vital as they are the first point of contact members of the public have when they are reporting a crime or an emergency.
“Through increasing our call handler staff this will support improving the 101 service for residents of County Durham and Darlington. The increase of police council tax earlier this year was partly to ensure the force control room is sufficiently resourced to meet demand from 999 and 101 calls. I am committed to ensuring that Durham Constabulary provides an excellent service to the public.”
The closing date for applications is Friday, November 12.
