Join us at British Transport Police (BTP) as we recruit PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) to make a difference in our communities

Can you work in London?

We are recruiting for PCSO's within Inner London (locations across the network including Stratford, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, Waterloo, Euston, and many others).

Is this the role for you?

BTP is seeking PCSOs to join our team, protecting and serving the railway environment and its community to minimise disruption, crime, and fear of crime. This role is crucial to our mission.

Like Home Office PCSOs, BTP PCSOs focus on enforcing BTP Byelaws within the railway environment, offering diverse responsibilities where no two days are the same. Responsibilities include conducting visible patrols at stations, victim care, security threat management, minor crime investigations, community relationship-building, and supporting PCs. Unlike Home Office police forces, our PCSOs are trained and equipped with handcuffs.

Ideal candidates should demonstrate resilience, excellent customer service skills, and a passion for community engagement and partnership-building. PCSOs should be prepared to work shifts, including weekends and bank holidays.

Superintendent David Rams said: "Our Police Community Support officers are an integral part of our British Transport Police family. They carry out vital work across the railway network to keep passengers and staff safe. We care deeply about our Police Community Support officers who deliver an exceptional service to our communities across England and Wales."

In return for your commitment, you will receive:

• Competitive salary: £26, £3,033.56 London allowance + 15% shift allowance = £33,047.39
  
• A minimum of 15% shift allowance will be received upon completion of 8 weeks training. Shift allowance can be up to 20% but will default to 15% in the first instance. This will increase year on year, until you reach top spine point - £33, inclusive of allowances).
• Benefits including 28 rising to 30 days holiday, travel benefits, and access to internal progression opportunities.
• Continuous learning and development opportunities supported by our in-house talent & development teams. Including internal progression to become a Police Officer.

• You have been unsuccessful following a BTP PCSO interview in the last 6 months.

• You have previously been dismissed from another force.
• You have been declared bankrupt, have a CCJ or an un-managed IVA.
• You have tattoos that are deemed offensive; tattoos on face and neck will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

BTP GPP Police Staff Pension Scheme is administered by Royal London.
