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 programme delivery team within the Transformation Directorate, joining our team of programme and project managers who are at the heart of managing the change across a range of exciting, dynamic projects. Working with multi-skilled teams you’ll bring your flexible approach, problem-solving and negotiating skills together, using a structured PPM framework to ensure we achieve our goals.

As a Programme Support Officer, you’ll work closely with your programme manager, supporting them in all aspects of successfully running the programme. You’ll be their eyes and ears on the ground, and will help them organise and coordinate the programme effectively. You’ll be committed to learning fast, with great organisational skills, and will have passion, energy and drive. You’ll be confident enough to challenge upwards, never losing sight of the bigger picture. If you don’t already have direct experience of working on projects or programmes then you’ll be able to demonstrate your potential for this role, underpinned by your strong interpersonal skills. This role is ideal for anyone wanting to grow their careers or have experience in an exciting, vibrant, project and programme environment.

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.
