We are looking for a creative and dynamic Business Support Officer to join the office of the West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner and support our vision: "Working with partners and the public to deliver safer, stronger communities in West Mercia".
The core role of the PCC’s office is to ensure the voice of the public is reflected in policing.

If successful, you’ll be responsible for: developing and delivering communications via various platforms to support the PCC and the estate; producing and delivering campaigns; creating videos and podcasts; advising and supporting the PCC; and carrying out public engagements. You will also be supported and encouraged to work on your own initiative and help shape the focus.
The Business Support Officer role is hybrid, requiring a minimum of 3 days in the office.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Friday 30th May 2025.
