Job Advert Description

Our Force Control room based in St Asaph is where our Communications Operators answer 999 calls and non-emergency 101 calls, as well as sending police officers to incidents across North Wales. Our operators are hard at work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year keeping North Wales safe.

The role of a North Wales Police Communications Operator, is one of the most rewarding and varied roles you are ever likely to have. This rewarding career offers an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the force and join a unique profession where you can really make a difference and take a great sense of pride in doing so. No two days are the same for our Communication Operators, one minute you could be taking the details of a missing person and the next you could be sending officers to reports of a robbery in progress.

Initial investigation - you will be trained to ask initial questions to establish the risk/severity and if there are any lines of enquiry or investigation such as evidence, or forensic opportunities. You will manage expectations of the reporting person providing crime reduction advice and reassurance.

Partners - you will work with other emergency services and partner agencies, supporting the work they do and arranging for police involvement where this is needed.

Advice - many of the non-emergency calls received are resolved by our communication operators. This could be through offering advice or signposting members of public to more appropriate agencies when it is not a matter dealt with by the police. With each contact you will be managing expectations advising what police can and cannot do.

Recording intelligence - from information given by our communities you'll be identifying and recording information to share with other parts of the organisation, to inform our future policing operations.

Service delivery - you will be part of a professional team who deliver a good service by being focused and alert to deal with whatever the next call could bring and dealing with sometimes constant calls to a professional standard.

Shift Patterns

You will be part of a shift rota, pre-planned for 32 weeks in advance if you are full time worker and pre-planned 64 weeks in advance if you are a part time worker, providing you with ample time to pre-plan your calendar to fit in your personal life alongside your profession.

The core shift pattern is 4 on, 4 off (10,11 and 12 hour shifts, 2 days followed by 2 nights).
