Police Officer Rejoiners (Constable)

West Midlands Police are currently recruiting for Rejoiners at the rank of Constable.
If you're an experienced Police Officer who has previously served within a UK Home Office Police Force, and wishes to re-join we'd like to hear from you!
There is no restriction on how long you've been out of policing, however ideally you would have left your role within the last 5 years - that beieng said, we welcome applications from all former Police Officers who share our vision and values.
There's no better time to join us - as the second largest Police Force in the UK, policing the West Midlands is diverse and fast-paced. Careers with us are varied and demanding, but exciting too. From major incidents to community policing, every day is different and with hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2022 a career with WMP has a lot to offer.
Neighbourhood policing continues to play a significant part in tackling issues and working in partnership with our local communities. We have teams based across our patch to investigate crime and vulnerability, in our CID and Public Protection units. We have central Firearms, Operations, Offender Management, Intelligence and Professional Standards departments and work in partnership with police colleagues in the West Midlands CTU, NABIS, and the Regional Organised Crime Unit.
Although we aim to post you to a role in line with your preferences and experience, postings will be decided in line with organisational needs.
We serve 2.8 million people in an area rich in diversity, with around 30 per cent of its population from ethnic minority backgrounds. Our force values embody what we are, to apply you must have real passion for people and communities. You will have a desire to work alongside our local communities to build relationships and make a difference to the lives of people in the West Midlands.
Back to our offer to you - WMP is committed to supporting all colleagues with continuous professional development, great staff offers, associations and social clubs, wellbeing support, and a comprehensive development programme across the force.

We are now accepting applications from Rejoiners who worked for British Transport Police, however we are currently reviewing our training programme for Officers transferring from non home office forces.

West Midlands Police is a Disability Confident Leader - the highest level an organisation can achieve under the scheme run by the Department of Work and Pensions. As part of our commitment we operate a 'Disability Confident Interview Scheme' - all candidates who declare a disability and meet the essential criteria for the role will be offered an interview.
It is important to note that there may be occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all disabled people who meet the essential criteria for the job. For example: in certain recruitment situations such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people. In these circumstances, the employer could select the candidates who best meet the essential criteria for the job, as they would do for non-disabled applicants.
