**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 its end-to-end recruitment processes for its two graduate programmes, the National Graduate Leadership Programme (NGLP) and the National Detective Programme (NDP), and its promotion support programme for serving police officers, the Frontline Leadership Programme (FLP).

The role comprises five main parts:

- ** Lead**, develop, and retain a high performing and values driven Recruitment Team (currently 17 individuals) that works in collaboration with the whole of Police Now and has a culture of positivity and inclusivity.
- ** Deliver **an immersive, efficient, fair and robust recruitment process for talented and diverse individuals committed to our mission of community transformation, to ensure that all recruitment campaigns hit or exceed the targets set around volume, quality and diversity.
- ** Collaborate** with colleagues across the organisation, to ensure that our recruitment processes are aligned to our marketing campaigns and engaging for the most talented and diverse graduates who are suitable for the programmes, effectively preparing them for the realities of policing.
- ** 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 it is a role model of leadership, integrity, wellbeing, efficiency and effectiveness.

**Key responsibilities**

**LEADERSHIP**
- Act as an effective senior leader and line manager to the Recruitment team and wider Chief Marketing Officer directorate, supporting and developing your direct and indirect reports to deliver outstanding results and improve their own skills, knowledge and abilities. Effectively succession plan for the future, and ensure sufficient team resilience to avoid unforeseen events impacting on campaign delivery.
- Have an equity, diversity and inclusion mindset at the heart of all you do.

**COLLABORATION**
- Support Police Now’s strong and positive partnerships with our partners, including assessment experts, freelance assessors and system providers.
- As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, input into the formation of Police Now’s strategy and influence major decisions, communicate and explain our strategy and priorities to your team and external partners and stakeholders. Provide feedback and support to your senior peers and the Executive team, and act as an escalation point for colleagues across the organisation including, from time-to-time, making ethical, logical, reasoned decisions on urgent matters outside of your functional expertise.
- Be an expert on Police Now’s programme recruitment and our difference to mainstream policing, and other graduate employers. Contribute to research, speak at conferences, attend stakeholder meetings as and when required to raise Police Now’s profile and to support the sharing of best practice.

**DELIVER**
- Develop a pre-employment check strategy, which ties in police force checks (vetting, medical and fitness) as well as Police Now led checks (eligibility and reference checking), and clearly defines a process for escalations.
- Implement and role model an evidence-led approach to decision making, including the production of reporting and systems that enable knowledge building and effective action (e.g. dashboard, projection tools, target-setting).
- Maintain oversight of the Recruitment team budget and ensure budget is allocated appropriately to support our effective delivery throughout the year, including consideration of resource allocation (people and money). Unders
