This is an opportunity to support The Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex in delivering key elements of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011.
In this strategic business leadership position, you’ll work alongside the county’s first democratically elected commissioner, providing senior-level support as he sets local policing priorities and holds the local police force to account.
As the Commissioner’s closest adviser, you’ll provide critical input to decision-making and monitor activity to ensure that all statutory obligations are met. Providing leadership for office staff, you will oversee operational delivery of key activities such as business planning, communications, policy development and contract management. In addition, you will be instrumental in building and maintaining effective working relationships with external partners such as councils, community representatives and private sector contacts.

Significant experience in an administrative, legal or policy role is essential.
Skilled in a broad range of business management activities, you’ll have exemplary interpersonal skills and be adept at inspiring, influencing and motivating others to achieve high performance. And, while politically aware, you’ll be capable of acting with the utmost integrity and objectivity.
