We are looking to appoint a CCTV Officer to join Regional Scientific Support Services (RSSS) and be part of our operational team based at Sensor House, Beverley. The post will operate on the flexi scheme working Mondays to Friday.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated candidate to join us in the CCTV section, where your main tasks will include the delivery of a comprehensive CCTV service to investigative officers and teams from across the region. This is an opportunity for individuals to progress their career within a field, which continues to develop. You will need to be self-confident, capable of learning quickly, have good communication skills and work well as part of a small team.
In this role, you will undertake technical processes in the forensic retrieval, analysis, enhancement of CCTV images and other evidential material, as well as act as a point of escalation to provide specialist support, advice and technical assistance, which meets the investigative requirements of all four Forces within the Yorkshire and Humber region.
This includes attending in and around crime scenes to facilitate the forensic recovery of CCTV media and ensuring that retrieval is carried out in an evidentially safe manner that satisfies all local, National and Home Office guidelines.
Eligible candidates will come with a relevant degree or previous experience working in an associated field and will have a proven understanding of computer hardware to component level, as well as a working knowledge of relevant common operating systems such as MS Windows.

You must also successfully complete a manual lifting and handling course and be prepared to travel for business purposes; possession of a full current UK driving license is therefore essential.
