This is an exciting opportunity for a Governance and Policy Officer to join our small, high-performing team. This role is part-funded by the Home Office and supports the development of the role of Police and Crime Commissioners and their equivalents PCCs as the public’s elected voice on policing and criminal justice.

It’s a varied, front-facing role that works across a wide range of APCC activity and brings together policy development, governance, stakeholder engagement, project delivery and event management. The successful candidate will have opportunities to contribute to national policy discussions, support and strengthen governance both within the APCC and across policing, lead projects and help deliver key member events and meetings. For someone looking to broaden their networks, gain exposure to high-profile national work and develop their career within the policing and criminal justice sector, this is an excellent opportunity.

The policing governance landscape is entering a period of significant change. As the Government develops its proposals for the future of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and their equivalents, the APCC is working closely with the Home Office and partners to help shape the next phase of local policing governance. This role offers a rare opportunity to contribute to those national discussions while supporting the development of the APCC’s future role within the wider policing system.
