An upcoming retirement, in June, has created an opportunity for someone to take responsibility for our Rapid Response to doorstep crime flagship.

This would be on the basis of –

. 3 days per week, for six months and possibly longer
. Responding to Rapid Response calls to a dedicated number, including attending incidents where appropriate borough wide
. Intervention, safeguarding referrals where appropriate, and intelligence entries
. Preliminary investigation work – e.g. statements, arranging surveys, interviews etc..
. Dealing with complaints, with a focus on doorstep crime and reflecting our other priority areas (product safety, underage sales, protecting the vulnerable, serious detriment)
. Liaison with team, including some mentoring for apprentice, and external bodies e.g. Tri Regional team, Police.
. Responsibility for duty each day through Citizens Advice referrals and emails to the service

Clearly we would want someone who is available to attend incidents – we have a KPI of within 2 hours though in practice I expect sooner, throughout.

Though TS background is desirable, this could suit someone with analogous experience and at least awareness of TS.
