Job Description:

Police Community Support Officer

Salary: £33,348 including £2,841 location allowance. This role may also attract a shift disturbance allowance of between 12.5% and 20%.

Location: Across London

Details: Full-time (36 hours per week) and part-time opportunities available. Day, evening and night shifts. Full training provided.

You’re a people person who loves building relationships with people from all walks of life, who’s looking for a role that makes real-world impact. Then how does reducing crime and making communities safer sound?

As a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), conversations will be your bread and butter. Working in the heart of communities, you’ll work with local people, support officers and build vitally important relationships that mean the world to residents. All in the name of preventing crime and making communities safer.

You’ll join either our Safer Neighbourhood or Transport team. Our Safer Neighbourhood teams offer a visible police presence and reduce crime and antisocial behaviour at local levels. Our Transport teams focus on keeping London’s roads and over-ground transport networks moving and operating safely.

Your day-to-day duties will depend on the team you join but routine PCSO duties include assisting and supporting police officers, gathering intelligence, carrying out security patrols and reassuring the public.

Depending on your role, you could be trained in: providing support at ceremonial and special events; responding to major incidents and security alerts; making house-to-house enquiries; helping to keep London’s road network running; and issuing fixed penalty notices. Of course, your responsibilities could extend far beyond this (depending on where you’re needed), from policing special events and responding to major incidents to keeping roads running smoothly.

In return, you’ll get a competitive salary, full training package – including Personal Safety and Emergency Life Support – and plenty of dedicated support for your personal development.

What you’ll need:

• You’re comfortable speaking to members of the public.
• You’re a keen learner who’s motivated to complete initial and further training programs.
• You understand the importance of community engagement and care about others, wanting to see them safe and well.
• You’re comfortable spending lots of time on your feet – you’ll walk a lot during your shift.
• You’ll have a GCSE Grade C (or equivalent) in English. (If you don’t have the GCSE, you can take a written test that’s the equivalent.)

Right now, we’re looking for PCSOs across London. We can’t guarantee where you’ll be placed but we’ll try to balance your preference with where the Met needs you the most.
