Recruitment is currently flexible to meet the demands of the organisation and the projected number of learners, therefore successful applicants will be invited to join the team as the new units grow with increased demand. As the learner detectives will be split between both CID and the Domestic Abuse Team, you will be following the shift pattern of your learners within either department. Due to the nature of coaching, there may be some requirement for you to vary your shifts from time to time as well as showing flexibility with attending and supporting other force wide PIP2 DCUs, Domestic Abuse Teams and CIDs, where required.
