SalaryVacancy Information
Applications are welcomed from substantive Constables and Detective Constables on Promotion to Sergeant or Detective Sergeant from other Force areas via transfer on Promotion or Level Transfer. Applications will also be welcomed from individuals who wish to re-join the Force at a higher rank (please see eligibility criteria below).
In recent years, Surrey Police and Sussex Police have been collaborating across a range of operational policing services. Both forces serve a diverse range of communities, affording plenty of opportunity for a varied leadership career. We're encouraging colleagues from under-represented groups to apply for promotion.
As part of the application, you will be able to advise us of your preferred top three roles and locations together with any working requirements (ie part time working hours, flexible working etc). Subject to your successful application and interview, your preferences will be taken into consideration at the postings panel and accommodated where possible. We recognise that our people are balancing demanding careers with commitments and interests outside of work. We welcome discussion with candidates who want to work full-time or part-time flexible hours. If a suitable role isn't available at the time that accommodates your flexible working requirements, you will remain in a pool whilst other opportunities are explored.
