The Role

Careers don’t come more rewarding than this.   Tackling crime, taking knives off the streets, engaging and educating young people and being the person everyone looks towards for help. A Police Officer’s role is demanding and diverse – no two days are the same.

 

We’re looking for people who have the judgment to make quick decisions; are confident to be first person in; have the compassion and empathy to help those in need; who’ll have their colleagues back no matter what and the resilience to serve the community every single day.

 

In return, we promise a good starting salary, great training experiences, opportunities for progression, the chance to achieve a professional qualification in Policing Practice and the pride that comes from helping others. You will become part of our policing family; dedicated to keeping communities safe and feeling safe, identifying and protecting vulnerable people, preventing and responding to harm.

 

New training routes

By successfully completing the recruitment process, you will be the first in the county to join Surrey Police as a Police Officer through the new entry routes.

 

We currently offer:

 

The Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) is the new entry route for Police Constables. It is a three-year apprenticeship programme with both on and off the job learning. Upon successfully finishing the programme, and completing probation, individuals will achieve a Degree in Professional Policing Practice. Starting salary is £20,370 per annum plus £2,500 South East Allowance.  The Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) is aimed at degree-holders who have attained a degree in any subject area, we aim to launch this in 2020.   At the end of this two-year practice-based programme, individuals will receive a Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice. Starting salary is £23,586 per annum plus £2,500 South East Allowance.

 

You will be employed as an officer from day one, gaining valuable experience of the role alongside studying towards your degree.  You will also be paid a salary while studying and will not be charged any tuition fees – therefore no need for student loans.

 

Ahead of the DHEP being launched in 2020, recruits with degrees may be offered places on the PCDA.

Diversity Statement

Our ability to build trust, understand problems and support our communities across a range of policing matters, relies on us having a workforce that is reflective of our communities and all the unique individuals that exist within them. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce and to eliminating discrimination.

 

We are very keen to encourage applications from those that have never considered policing as a career. Representation within our workforce from black and minority ethnic communities is currently much lower than we want it to be; by improving this we will be better able to serve our local communities and our work place will benefit from all the differences in thinking, points of view, and approaches that diversity brings.

 

We are actively working on a range of activities to improve this and one of the proactive ways we are seeking to increase representation is via a bespoke mentoring scheme which is aimed at guiding applicants from diverse communities through the recruitment process.
