Merseyside
This rewarding career offers an opportunity to play a pivotal role in Merseyside Police, joining a unique profession where you can really make a visible difference in your community.
Police Constable Support Officers are salaried, non-warranted police staff who complement the work of Police Officers. A consistent number of PCSO's go on to pursue careers as Police officers within Merseyside Police Force, handling more serious, complex, and enforcement-heavy tasks. However, those who prefer to remain as a PCSO for the long-term particularly enjoy providing visibility in the community, community outreach, and tackling minor issues, focusing on public safety, support, and engagement.
PCSO's also enjoy the stability of working primarily in one location, building intricate knowledge of local communities, and understanding the dynamics and specific needs of the areas they serve.
If you think that you have the personal attributes to build solid relations with our officers and communities, please read on about the training programme.
We are offering permanent positions, based at various locations across Merseyside.
36.5 hours per week basis, working in between the hours of 8am to 10pm on a rota basis - including weekends.
Salary: £26,106 to £28,653 plus 13.33% equalisation allowance after training (per annum). Equating to £29,585 - £32,472 per annum - inclusive of equalisation allowance.
