I work in transformation, responding to the changing nature of crime

Our vision is for London to be the safest global city. Achieving this involves transforming every aspect of how we operate - this is the biggest transformation in the Met’s history, led by our world-class Transformation Directorate.

As the UK’s largest police service, we employ more than 40,000 people and account for 25% of the national policing budget. The scale, breadth and pace of our transformation is unparalleled, and we are looking for the best talent to help us deliver our ambitious vision. This is your chance to help shape the police service of the future - and to work with highly driven and committed professionals from across the breadth of policing services. With your help, we can make it happen.

You’ll join our business change team within the Transformation Directorate. In our business change team, you’ll implement change without compromising on the services we provide in keeping the public safe, championing best practice and ensuring changes are successfully embedded and sustained. Much of your work will involve supporting senior Met colleagues to lead the organisation through change.

As Engagement Officer, you’ll develop innovative engagement ideas and tools, and deliver meaningful two way engagement with staff, in order to ensure that when changes go-live, staff understand what is required of them and have bought into it. You’ll have experience of working across projects and programmes, running change champion networks (or equivalent) and motivating people to deliver change and to make an impact (even when it isn’t their core role). You’ll be organised and able to manage multiple strands of activity simultaneously, and will be comfortable working with internal and external stakeholders, alongside colleagues in communications.

With your help, we can transform the services we provide to the public; from tackling organised crime to protecting vulnerable people, we will be prepared to respond to every challenge more effectively and efficiently.

Working in our Transformation Directorate will be challenging and rewarding. We provide world-class training and development and a generous reward package, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you have made an invaluable contribution to keeping London safe.

To tackle today’s complex policing challenges, we need a workforce made up from all of London’s communities. Applications from across the community are therefore essential.
