Job Description
Are you passionate about assisting individuals through training and development?
We are currently recruiting an individual with training / assessing experience to join our multi skilled team of police officers and police staff, in our Operational Training department, to deliver a range of training.
Our Trainers will be the key to ensuring that police volunteers have the knowledge to perform their roles effectively.
In this role, you will initially provide our police officers and staff with up to date Police and Personal Safety (PPST) and First Aid training, before expanding your training portfolio in one or more specialist areas, so they can remain accredited in their mandatory and specialist skills. It not only increases their abilities and confidence but also enhances performance across the organisation.
What You'll Do
As a Roadside Trainer, you'll help new Community SpeedWatch volunteers learn how to carry out roadside speed monitoring safely and confidently.
