We are looking for substantive, experienced Police Constables to join Avon and Somerset Police.

We are looking for the highest quality officers to join our organisation. You must be able to commit to and deliver our force values in everything you do.

If you currently serve in a Home Office force and are looking to transfer to Avon and Somerset we would like to hear from you.

Our organisation area is vast, covering over 1,855 Square miles and serving nearly 1.7 million residents.

We service an international airport flying to over 130 destinations, miles of picturesque coastline, a huge network of roads, a vast number of towns and rural villages and not forgetting the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Bristol and the world renowned, cultural spa city of Bath.

These all produce a challenging, lively and diverse policing environment. In addition the night time economy in many of these areas makes us a truly 24/7 service. Across all of this expanse our focus always is to provide outstanding policing for everyone.

There really is something for everyone in Avon and Somerset making it a fantastic place to live and work.

We have so many amazing days out and events across our patch, the international Balloon fiesta attracts over 500,000 visitors each year and is simply breath taking to watch. We have great seaside days out in places like Weston Super Mare, Burnham and Brean and let’s not forget all of the historical and cultural attractions on our door step.

If you are more enticed by the hustle and bustle there is a huge array of events and opportunities such as Glastonbury Festival, Championship football matches, carnivals and a continuously growing music and show scene. There are also numerous opportunities to get involved celebrating the diversity across Avon and Somerset with events such as the famous St Paul’s Carnival and numerous pride events throughout the region with the Bristol event being ranked in the top 30 of Global world pride events.

We have a host of award-winning schools, colleges and universities including UWE and the University of Bath, these offer excellent opportunities for those students looking to take that next step.

You can be the difference to so many….could you be the difference we are looking for?

A pension that grows with you, whatever stage you’re at

Alongside your salary, you’ll be enrolled in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), administered by Peninsula Pensions. This is a high‑quality defined benefit pension, providing a secure, inflation‑linked income for life, based on your earnings and length of service.

If you’re early in your career, it’s a valuable way to start building long‑term financial security from day one, with employer contributions that significantly boost the value of every pound you pay in.

If you’re more experienced, the scheme offers a level of certainty and stability that is now rare, helping you plan confidently for the future with predictable retirement income and benefits for your dependants.

Diversity is a strength and individuality is an asset. We recognise the benefit different life experience and perspectives can bring.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. We encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible to ensure their application is considered.
