How To Apply
At various stages during the recruitment and selection process we will look for you to show your alignment to the College of Policing’s competency and value framework.
Competencies
We are emotionally aware
We make the effort to understand ourselves, our colleagues and all those we serve. We genuinely engage with and listen to others, making efforts to understand needs, perspectives and concerns.
We take ownership
We make decisions at appropriate levels and in appropriate areas, having a clear rationale and accepting responsibility for our decisions. We seek feedback, learn from our mistakes and reflect to improve and amend our future practices.
We are collaborative
We build genuine and long-lasting partnerships that focus on collective aims and not just on our own organisation. This goes beyond just working in teams and with colleagues we see daily.
We deliver, support and inspire
We understand the vision for the organisation. We use our organisation’s values in our day-to-day activities as a role model to provide inspiration and clarity to our colleagues and stakeholders.
We analyse critically
We analyse information, data, viewpoints and combine the best available evidence to understand the root causes of issues that arise in complex situations.
We are innovative and open-minded
We have an inquisitive and outward-looking nature, searching for new information to understand alternative sources of good practice and implement creative working methods.
Transparency
We are transparent in our actions, decisions and communications with both the people we work with and those we serve.
Impartiality
We must show impartiality throughout all our dealings with colleagues, partners and members of the public.
Integrity
We understand and reinforce expectations of professional behaviour and openly recognise good and bad performance.
Public Service
We have a responsibility to ensure that we act in the best interests of society as a whole.
