As a Police Controller you will help protect our communities by being the first voice they hear when they call for help and assistance.

You do not need previous experience – we’ll give you all the training and support to be ready to take that call. But we do ask that you have common sense, a calm head under pressure, high levels of resilience, an ability to make decisions under pressure, attention to detail combined with good communication skills and experience of using IT systems.

You will be managing and controlling police radio transmissions, prioritising multiple live incidents, deploying police resources and ensuring public and police officer safety. You will need to prioritise incidents, identifying the risk, threat and vulnerability within the situation and grade the incident correctly to ensure the right and timely police response.

You need to be ready for the unexpected, with an ability to make key decisions whilst taking information from a caller. The calls you handle will be varied; you could go from dealing with a non-urgent 101 enquiry to a distressing 999 emergency and sadly you might even receive abuse from someone you are trying to help. It is undoubtedly one of the most demanding yet rewarding roles in modern policing.

If you can demonstrate these skills and have the drive and determination to make a difference to the communities we serve, then this could be the career for you.

For more detailed information on the role, including first-hand insight from those in the position, important information on shifts and requirements of the role, and importantly the benefits we can offer, please click here

To apply for this post please attach a CV.

Please note the next stage of this application process is a mandatory awareness session. These will start taking place after the advert closes. Please see the below dates; if you’re unable to attend one of these please contact recruitment ASAP.

Thursday 6th August 2026 18:00 - 19:00
Monday 10th August 2026 18:00 - 19:00
Wednesday 12th August 2026 18:00 - 19:00

Please be aware all successful candidates must complete a 6-week course at full time, this course is likely to take place at Kidlington and whilst we will endeavour to supply assistance in arranging your transport we cannot guarantee this, and there is an expectation for you to ensure you can attend when applying.

We will be advertising on a rolling recruitment basis and should you be successful you will be placed into a recruitment pool. Once vetting and medical clearances have been received you will remain in the pool until the next course intake becomes available for you to start.

You will receive structured on and off the job training through our comprehensive apprenticeship programme, for more information on what this entails please click here

On successful completion of the programme, you will be confirmed in post and receive a nationally recognised Level 3 Certificate in Emergency Service Contact Handling.

The closing date for enquiries and receipt of completed applications is Sunday 2nd August 2026 (subject to change).

We believe in investing in all of our people and run tailored Positive Action Initiatives to support our colleagues from underrepresented backgrounds in their personal and professional development, ensuring everyone has a level playing field to succeed, progress and feel fulfilled in their careers.
