Legally Qualified Person – Police Misconduct Hearings
The Police and Crime Commissioners for the North East and Yorkshire region are seeking to appoint Legally Qualified Persons to join the list of people able to sit on police misconduct hearing panels.

Police and Crime Commissioners have the challenging role of ensuring that the people of their respective region are served by an efficient and effective police force. Transparent, fair and robust arrangements for police officer discipline are an important way of inspiring public confidence in the high professional standards and ethical values of our police.
Successful candidates will join the Panels for the Police and Crime Commissioners of Northumbria, Durham, Cleveland, North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Humberside and South Yorkshire. The work will therefore be varied across the entire region.
An important principle is for misconduct processes to build trust and confidence in policing both for our communities, but also for the staff working within policing. A commitment to fairness and transparency, with a particular emphasis on understanding the issues that are important to our diverse communities is critical in this role.

Applications are sought from qualified lawyers who can demonstrate integrity and independence of mind, commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, analysis, sound judgement and an objective approach to issues presented. Applications from candidates who have current or previous experience of regulatory law are actively encouraged
We are looking to increase the diversity of our current panel to make it more representative of our communities. Applications from under-represented groups, particularly BAME, LGBTQ and female colleagues, are particularly welcomed.
This role will be a contract for services and rates of pay are set nationally. The contract will run on a four-year term, with the potential to be renewed for an indefinite number of terms.
Attendance at training events is a mandatory condition of appointment for these posts.
Successful candidates will be required to undertake training.
Candidates should complete the application form listed on our website (www.northumbria-pcc.gov.uk). Applications should be submitted to [email protected]
The North East and Yorkshire is a vibrant and diverse part of the country and we are committed to equality and diversity. Applications from individuals of all backgrounds are welcomed.

On-call (retained) firefighter recruitment
On-call firefighters are trained firefighters who, rather than being based at a fire station, provide on-call cover from home and/or their place of work. They declare the periods in a week when they are available to respond to emergencies if called upon.
They respond to emergencies when their pager alerts them, so must work and/or live within approximately four minutes travel time from the fire station as they travel from that location to the fire station, where they then travel to the emergency in a fire service vehicle.
