Could you support the latest crime-fighting technology?

As the challenge of fighting crime becomes increasingly complex, we're turning to technology to give us a new edge. Our Technology, Research & Innovation team comes up with advanced technology to help our officers - and you can be at the heart of pioneering projects that help keep London safe.

You will be part of one of our Operational teams maintaining technical initiatives already in place to support the team's cutting edge policing work.   It's all about understanding what our officers need and coming up with brilliant, workable ideas.

You must have a very good grasp of general computing, networking and computer operating systems. Perhaps you've gained this during your studies or while already working in IT.

You'll have a varied, hands-on role that will involve using your skills to support the team in maintaining a well-functioning network system that help our business operate smoothly. You will also be troubleshooting computer issues and provide technical support and guidance to operational teams. You will have strong problem-solving skills, and take an analytical approach to your work.

While all the time, you'll be keeping abreast of emerging technology to make sure our team is ready for the future. With the ever-changing nature of technology today, there's ample scope to learn and develop your skills by assisting in updating current systems as well as in the design of new future-proof systems.

You'll be working both independently and in project teams, so you'll need to be comfortable collaborating and working on your own to drive progress forward.
