Head of National Graduate Leadership Programme

6 months ago

London, United Kingdom Police Now Full time

**About Police Now**

Our mission is to transform communities, reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, and increase the public’s confidence in the police service by recruiting, developing and inspiring outstanding and diverse leaders in society and on the policing frontline.

We are working towards a day when every community, whatever the socio-economic background of its residents, can thrive without being fearful of crime. We are looking for talented, committed and mission-aligned individuals who will drive us towards achieving our ambitions.

Police Now recruits and trains graduates and career changers with leadership potential to become inspirational police officers and outstanding crime fighters on our National Graduate Leadership Programme and our National Detective Programme. Beyond these programmes, our officers may join our Frontline Leadership Programme and be further developed giving them the best possible chance to progress through the policing ranks and have a lifelong connection with us.

Our 115-strong not-for-profit organisation aims to create systemic change. We need highly capable impactful staff to support the recruitment and development of our officers and to cultivate strong relationships with partner forces and the wider sector.

**The purpose of your role**

Police Now seeks an exceptional individual to lead the delivery and future design of the National Graduate Leadership Programme (NGLP). This two-year programme aims to train, develop and support brilliant and diverse graduates to be outstanding neighbourhood police officers who will help to change policing culture for the better. Our participants tackle entrenched local problems, and in doing so aim to cut crime and anti-social behaviour and increase police legitimacy in the interest of long-term community transformation. The programme also acts as a talent pipeline for the police service, and participants are supported to develop both their leadership capability and operational policing skills to progress laterally and vertically through policing over time. This role represents the genuine opportunity to influence the future of police constable recruitment and training given Police Now’s role as a lead and innovator in this space.

The role comprises five main parts:

- ** Role model** Police Now’s mission, strategy, values and leadership principles. As a member of the senior leadership team, you will have collective responsibility for the strategy and direction of the organisation, ensuring that we are a role model of leadership, integrity and diversity, wellbeing, efficiency and effectiveness, in policing and beyond.
- **Communicate** effectively, energetically and inspirationally, advocating and representing the programme with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders ranging from participants through to force contacts and internal teams.
- **Deliver **an excellent two-year programme of ongoing learning, support and professional development throughout the two-year probationary period that participants undertake following the academy, including working closely with partner forces to resolve challenges that participants may face.
- ** Deliver** an outstanding residential NGLP academy each year, which equips participants with excellent core policing and strong neighbourhood problem solving skills and the understanding of how to deploy those skills and abilities in ethical, organisational and procedurally just ways that increase public confidence and police legitimacy.
- ** Collaborate** internally and externally to evaluate programme delivery and then design and iterate the NGLP year on year so that it continues to be successful, measured against Police Now’s mission, strategy, participant experience and police force and stakeholder requirements

**Key responsibilities**

**ROLE MODEL**
- Inspire your team (c. 20 individuals), programme participants, colleagues from partner forces and stakeholders as a powerful advocate for neighbourhood policing and leadership, and the transformational change to communities and to policing itself that both can achieve when delivered well. Effectively, energetically and authentically communicate Police Now’s mission, our theory of change, strategy and vision so that those experiencing our programmes, delivering our programmes and supporting our programmes believe that a more effective, more legitimate, more just police service can be a reality in the future.
- Be an inspirational and effective senior leader and line manager to the NGLP team and within the wider programmes directorate, supporting and developing your direct reports and wider team to deliver outstanding results and improve their own skills, knowledge and abilities, and succession plan for the future to ensure sufficient team resilience to avoid unforeseen events impacting on programme delivery.
- Support your team to effectively project manage the delivery of each NGLP cohort from the academy right through to gradu
