Top tips for success
Your suitability will depend largely on the police staff jobs in which you’re interested. If your application has been successful, you will be invited to the next stage interview. This is a great opportunity to see if you’ll be a good fit for TeamNP and if you’d enjoy working in one of our teams.
Research our values
As we work together to achieve our vision and purpose, it’s important that our workforce reflects our values. Be sure to research our values ahead of your interview to better understand our guiding principles.
Learn about our objectives
Our objectives shape our strategic plan in succeeding with our vision. These objectives are determined by our commitments and priorities which you should research ahead of your interview, and consider how your desired police staff roles may contribute.
Prepare your answers
Be confident, candid, and concise. Many of our hiring managers will use the STAR (situation, task, action, and result) interview technique. This is an opportunity to share concrete examples of work or life-related situations to show that you possess the experience, skills and qualities required for the job.
Understand our context
Showing an awareness of the challenges, demands and wider context of policing and the role you are applying for will help us appreciate that you understand the role and the force. Look into the challenges Northumbria Police, and the wider force, face. Make a note of how this may influence the police staff role you have applied for and how you could contribute to overcoming these challenges.
Make time to practice
You should familiarise yourself with typical interview questions – but there is no need to write them down or learn the answers word for word. Try to ensure that your answers are well structured, and the end result is clear. It’s good to show active listening skills and don’t be afraid to let us know if you have any adjustments that we can support with, like having the questions written down or needing extra time in a test or exercise.
