The purpose of your role

Police Now’s governance is extremely important in providing constructive scrutiny, challenge and support, to develop the organisation as well as demonstrate value and quality to the Home Office and the policing sector. The Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee, has delegated responsibility from the Board of Trustees to drive, measure and guide Police Now’s Equity, Diversity & Inclusion strategy. This strategy includes Police Now staff, candidates, participants and alumni of our programmes, and our influence and voice within the policing sector, with a particular focus on supporting those identifying as women and ethnic minorities. We are seeking an exceptional leader with specific expertise in equity, diversity & inclusion, to sit on our EDI Committee.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the strategic vision, direction, and overall performance delivery of the charity. The Board is accountable for the governance of the charity, for safeguarding its assets, and the organisation’s general wellbeing. The three Board committees, govern specific areas required to drive performance. The Board determines the committees and has powers to delegate decision-making rights to the committees for certain matters.

The EDI committee meet quarterly at our offices in London. More information about our current Senior Leadership Team and Board of Trustees can be found here

Key responsibilities

To ensure that equity, diversity and inclusion is a key priority across all PN activity so that we are supporting policing by attracting, developing and retaining the most diverse and talented groups, enabling us to achieve our mission of transforming communities. You will promote, champion and encourage equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace and will monitor the key areas of performance (listed below), using data, experience and innovation:

Police Now Headquarters

• Supporting PNHQ to understand the importance and benefits of equity, diversity and inclusion both in policing and in the workplace.
• Achieving a representative and fairly rewarded staff group at PNHQ, to reflect our communities, particularly with a London-based HQ; supporting traditionally underrepresented groups in the workplace to thrive and reach management and leadership positions.

Police Now Programmes

• Identifying and promoting opportunities for innovation so that there is no trade-off between diversity (prioritising gender and ethnicity but also considering other protected characteristics and intersectionality) and talent on those joining and progressing through our graduate programmes.
• Monitoring progress and impact of women and ethnic minority officers in particular and providing positive action guidance.

Police Now Alumni

• Focusing on supporting a diverse range of participants through positive performance and retention, so that those completing our programmes and staying in policing are representative of the communities they serve.
• Nurturing those that have the potential to progress to Chief Officer and Superintendent ranks.
• Driving our new programmes of work specifically focused on the promotion of diverse officers.

Key Requirements

• A recognised expert in equity, diversity & inclusion with prior experience developing and delivering equity, diversity & inclusion strategies that have had tangible outcomes in any sector; deep knowledge of workforce representation and challenges in the UK.
• An interest in the UK policing sector and an understanding of the equity, diversity & inclusion challenges, especially regarding gender and race in policing. Whilst direct exposure to the policing sector can be beneficial, we are particularly interested in those who can bring fresh perspectives from a variety of industries or organisations.
• At least 5+years in a senior role as part of a leadership team or executive team, with significant senior stakeholder exposure.
• Previous non-executive or trustee governance expertise is desirable but is not essential; as a minimum, an expert in EDI.
• Experience in quality assurance regarding strategy development and delivery, as well as risk management and mitigation.
• Familiarity with data and analysis, and an ability to use storytelling with data.
• A proven ability to manage and build relationships with diverse stakeholder groups including senior leaders; access to networks of diversity and inclusion experts is a significant advantage.
• Willingness to join Police Now events very occasionally, in person or online, outside of governance meetings.
