Once applications have closed on a vacant position a selection panel will be formed from staff within our organisation. However, there are times when ‘expert’ assistance from outside the organisation is called upon. The selection panel will review all applications and determine those most suitable for an interview. This process can take up to two weeks and you will only be contacted if you are shortlisted for an interview.

Applicants who are shortlisted for an interview will be required to obtain a current (less than 6 months old) National Police Certificate.
