London, United Kingdom Metropolitan Police Full time

**Job Title: Referencing and Vetting - London - Multiple Vacancies**

**Location**: Sidcup

**Salary**: Starting at £28,511 with an additional £1,721 location allowance

**Are you an analytical thinker with a keen eye for detail? Looking for a role granting continual learning and development opportunities? Do you want to play a crucial role in who we recruit to keep the capital safe every day? If yes, we want to hear from you.**

**The Team**

Referencing and Vetting is a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. To apply, **you do not need any previous experience**; we're looking for applicants with great attention to detail, strong communication skills and a willingness to learn and develop within the role. You will need to have strong IT skills (using MS Office packages and a number of databases) and be comfortable analysing, logging and maintaining records. We have multiple vacancies (outlined below) and you could be posted as a trainee to either of the below departments within our Referencing and Vetting team:

- **Character Enquiry Centre (CEC)**:CEC manages local police checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to inform disclosure and barring decisions for those who are likely to work in positions of authority or safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
- **Vetting Unit**:At the Met we recognise that a thorough and effective vetting regime is a key component in assessing an individual’s integrity and an integral part in maintaining high ethical and professional standards. We conduct appropriate checks on individuals in positions of trust and identify areas of vulnerability which could damage public confidence

Full training will be given to ensure you’re in a position to provide expert knowledge and carry out vetting with confidence. The most important attribute is that you want to make a difference to the communities of London and safeguard both the Capital and those most vulnerable from harm.

**The Roles Available**

We have a range of roles available within our Referencing and Vetting team and we will deploy you where you are most needed. You can of course indicate a preference for which roles you feel your skillset and ambitions are most suited and we will be keen to discuss this further should you be invited to interview.

As a **Vetting Officer**, your average day may include conducting vetting checks on Police Officers and Staff, Contractors and Volunteers, researching their professional and private life, financial affairs, known associates and employment history. You’ll advise on whether our applicants are suitable to be employed by the MPS, ensure that threats to security and the communities we Police are managed appropriately and we will manage our records to ensure that the information we hold is accurate. You might also work with other forces or external agencies on specific cases in order to keep London safe for everyone.

As a **Character Enquiry Centre Caseworker**, you’ll work on behalf of the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) to protect children and vulnerable adults from risk of harm. You’ll analyse police intelligence reports and a range of police systems to determine if there is any relevant information relating to applicants and will be instrumental in keeping vulnerable people safe. You’ll write detailed summaries in a balanced, factual and sequential manner to inform police intelligence’s decision making. If you’re successfully appointed as a Caseworker, you will start as a band E (£28,511 with an additional location allowance of £1,721) and those who successfully graduate from the 20-week training programme will progress to Pay Band K1 (£29,258 - £33,269 with an additional locational allowance of £1,721).

Due to nature of the roles you may find yourself exposed to material of a graphic and mature nature.

**We are recruiting for a number of roles outside of those listed above and would encourage anyone interested by the nature of the work described to register your interest by clicking ‘Apply’ below.**

**Who are we looking for?**
- You will need to be a great communicator, comfortable articulating yourself both verbally and in writing.
- You will need to be computer-literate and comfortable using both MS Office packages and using a range of databases that store highly sensitive records and information.
- You will need to have a keen eye for detail and be comfortable analysing sometimes complex circumstances.
- We’re looking for team players with a thorough and methodical approach to work.
- You’ll be able to maintain a high level of diplomacy, tact and discretion in the managing of sensitive and confidential information.
- You will need to be highly organised with the ability to multi-task.
- You will be comfortable multitasking and prioritising workloads so deadlines can be met.
- We’re looking for those who act with integrity and want to have a positive impact on London.
