Contract Information
This post is offered on an Internal Secondment or Fixed-term until April 2028.
In November 2024, the Government announced its intention to abolish the role of Police and Crime Commissioner in May 2028. At present, it remains unclear how the statutory functions currently undertaken by the OPCC will be delivered beyond that date, whether a successor body will be established, or whether responsibilities and staff may transfer to another organization. Applicants should therefore be aware of this uncertainty when considering this opportunity.
Working Arrangements
The OPCC is committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and flexible working, subject to business needs. However, due to the nature of the role and the importance of maintaining a visible presence within the organization and the communities we serve, the successful candidate will be expected to work regularly from the Middlemoor office.
Recruitment Timeline
Successful candidates will be contacted by 15th October 2026.
