The Role & Key Responsibilities

From your first day with us you will be part of a policing family making a real difference. It is our mission to identify and protect vulnerable people, prevent and respond to harm and keep people safe.

In this role you will be a single point of contact responsible for providing strategic financial information and guidance to senior management teams across both forces.
