Some police staff roles at Northumbria Police require a valid driving licence, as you may need to drive police vehicles to various locations across the region. If a role includes this requirement, it will be clearly stated in the job advert.
In some cases, we may also highlight that travel is necessary. If you don’t hold a driving licence or have access to a vehicle, you’ll need to show how you can meet this requirement by other means.
If a disability or health condition prevents you from driving, you may be eligible for support through the Access to Work scheme.
It’s worth noting that some of our police stations and buildings are in remote locations. However, there may be flexibility on your working location depending on the role. If you have any questions please get in touch with our Talent Acquisition Team – we’re here to help.
