About us:

Our vision is to be a world class professional body, equipping members with the skills and knowledge to prevent crime, protect the public and secure public trust. The quality of our services, the support for our members and a reputation for cutting-edge research and teaching will have a profound effect on the future development of policing in the UK and overseas for years to come.

We have four complementary functions:
  • Knowledge: developing the research and infrastructure for improving evidence of 'what works'. Over time, this will ensure policing practice and standards are based on knowledge, not custom and convention.
  • Education: supporting the development of individual members of the profession. We set educational requirements to assure the public of the quality and consistency of policing skills, and facilitate academic accreditation and recognition of our members' expertise.
  • Standards: drawing on the best available evidence of 'what works' to set standards in policing for forces and individuals, for example, through Authorised Professional Practice and peer review.
  • Building the College: developing our infrastructure so we achieve even greater efficiency and effectiveness and establish the College as an independent professional body and employer of choice.

Applications are invited for the post of Practice Developer.

The selected candidate will develop and deliver evidence-based guidelines to set national standards in policing through:
  • review of existing standards and guidance to determine continued fitness for purpose;
  • scoping and developing new guidelines, and ensuring the quality of evidence review and appraisal of evidence supports the recommendations;
  • assisting stakeholders to interpret the evidence base and reach consensus on national standards;
  • contributing to the development of methods for guideline development

    All applicants must hold:
  • Degree or equivalent Level 6 qualification, or equivalent level of experience and further learning and development in policing, government, law, criminal justice or related fields
  • Evidence of commitment to continuing professional development

    Please see job description for full details of the role.

    Applications will be sifted against the 'Essential criteria' section of the job description.
