Help Shape the Future of Policing in Surrey
Are you a Surrey resident passionate about people, recognising potential, and making a difference in your community? Surrey Police are looking for enthusiastic Interview Support Volunteers to help us identify the next generation of Police Officers, Detectives and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
This is a unique opportunity to play a vital role in the recruitment process, supporting candidates as they take the first step towards a rewarding policing career and helping to ensure Surrey Police only recruits the very best people to be part of its team.
If you're experienced in recruiting and interviewing candidates, perhaps having run your own business or having recruited for your own team professionally, we would love to hear from you. Expenses will be paid and full training and coaching will be supplied.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Assist with Interviews and Assessment Centres for applicants looking to join policing
- Assess candidates against the rigorous national Police Recruitment Standards

Skills & Experience
We're seeking individuals who can bring enthusiasm, professionalism, and a genuine interest in helping others succeed.

Experience of working or volunteering within a police force would be beneficial, but we welcome applications from people with a range of backgrounds ensuring we make our interview panels as representative of the communities of Surrey as possible.
You'll be someone who can:
- Communicate confidently and engage effectively with a wide range of people
- Listen carefully and ask relevant follow-up questions
- Make fair, objective, and evidence-based assessments
- Work collaboratively as part of an interview panel
- Recognise potential and talent in others
- Maintain professionalism, confidentiality, and impartiality
