Job Advert Description

Our Force Control room based in St Asaph is where our **Communications Operators** answer 999 calls and non-emergency 101 calls, as well as sending police officers to incidents across North Wales. Our operators are hard at work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year keeping North Wales safe.

The role of a North Wales Police **Communications Operator**, is one of the most rewarding and varied roles you are ever likely to have. This rewarding career offers an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the force and join a unique profession where you can really make a difference and take a great sense of pride in doing so. No two days are the same for our Communication Operators, one minute you could be taking the details of a missing person and the next you could be sending officers to reports of a robbery in progress.

**Partners**:

- you will work with other emergency services and partner agencies, supporting the work they do and arranging for police involvement where this is needed.

**Advice**:

- many of the non-emergency calls received are resolved by our communication operators. This could be through offering advice or signposting members of public to more appropriate agencies when it is not a matter dealt with by the police. With each contact you will be managing expectations advising what police can and cannot do.

**Recording intelligence** - from information given by our communities you'll be indentifying and recording information to share with other parts of the organisation, to inform our future policing operations.

**Service delivery** - you will be part of a professional team who deliver a good service by being focused and alert to deal with whatever the next call could bring and dealing with sometimes constant calls to a professional standard.

Working alongside a welcoming and highly-skilled team, you’ll benefit from ample support and training to ensure you excel in the role, alongside receiving benefits such as;
- Full time starting salary £23,100 per annum (with salary increments per annum), **plus **20% shift allowance and 14.14% weekend working allowance. _(_**_this is £30,986.40 gross per annum on a full shift pattern_**_)_
- Health and Wellness services
- Access to on-site gyms and fitness classes
- Option to become a member of UNISON, the public service union
- Discounts from multiple online and high street brands via the Blue Light Scheme
- Free onsite parking

You will be part of a shift rota, pre-planned for 32 weeks in advance if you are full time worker and pre-planned 64 weeks in advance if you are a part time worker, providing you with ample time to pre-plan your calendar to fit in your personal life alongside your profession.
