As a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), you'll be the face of Warwickshire Police - building trust, offering reassurance, and helping to create safer, stronger neighbourhoods. This is your chance to step into a role that's as rewarding as it is challenging. No two days are ever the same, and every interaction matters.

You'll be working towards Level 1 of the Competency and Values Framework (CVF), which includes:

• Resolute, compassionate and committed
