Job Advert Description
Would you like a career like no other? If so… Join Us
The Joint Firearms Unit brings together hundreds of people with the same aim – to keep the Region safe.
We want to be the best at understanding and responding to our community’s needs. To do this we need the very best candidates from a wide range of backgrounds to apply to become part of our policing family.
We are looking for someone to #JoinUs as a Resource Planner in the Joint Firearms Unit. Could you be who we are looking for?
About the team/Department you will be joining:
You will be working closely with the Planning Unit within the Joint Firearms Unit. The JFU is a closely knit unit, performing at the highest threat level. It is a face paced, interesting and dynamic. No one day will be the same.
About the role and your key responsibilities:
To ensure that JFU resources are deployed in an efficient and effective manner, providing the JFU with a resilience to manage day to day policing demands and planned events.
To liaise with event organisers both internal and external and statutory bodies to plan and coordinate an appropriate police response for scheduled and unscheduled events.
To input and maintain rosters and rota information onto the Force(s) information systems and to manage and coordinate all resources for the JFU liaising with all relevant parties, this will also include maintaining Firearms Training Rotas.
The successful Candidate must be willing to undergo vetting to MV/SC Vetting.
Please note, if you are an internal candidate and subject to an ongoing PSD investigation, your appointment or placement in the role may be delayed pending an outcome. Whether the role is held open will be considered on a case-by-case basis
As an equal opportunities’ employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates are currently underrepresented within the Force, we would particularly welcome applications from ethnically diverse candidates.
To support the ambition of a diverse workforce, South Wales Place is able to offer a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS). The GIS is available for people living with a disability or identify as ethnically diverse.
If you are an applicant who is living with a disability or from an ethnically diverse background (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) and would like to be considered under the GIS, you must meet the essential minimum criteria for the role as outlined in the advert and role profile. You should take time to evidence that you meet each of the essential criteria in your application form and/or personal statement and CV.
There are numerous benefits to working for the Joint Firearms Unit, from learning and development opportunities to schemes which aim to improve your lifestyle and wellbeing, as well as generous Local Government Pension Scheme / Police Pension Schemes, paid annual leave, flexible working and family friendly policies and many more.
