We’re committed to recruiting talented people and removing barriers that may prevent people from applying to join the police. Some of the support available to you includes:
Positive Action Support
Our in-house Positive Action team is on hand to offer support, whether you’re considering an application or are already going through the recruitment process. They’re here to help those from under-represented groups, including those from ethnic minority communities or those with a disability. The team will work with you to understand any barriers you believe you face to joining our force. To help you prepare for the role you can get in touch with our Positive Action representatives by emailing careers@northumbria.police.uk
Disability Confident Scheme
It is important that Northumbria Police represent the communities we serve. We celebrate the benefits of having diverse thinkers within our organisation, including those with a disability or a neurodiversity condition. We are happy to provide any adjustments that might support you through the application process. To discuss the support available to you throughout the application process please email careers@northumbria.police.uk.
