Are you looking for a fulfilling role with each day being different? Is this the role for you?
Our Evidence Management Centre are looking to recruit into the role of Evidence Officer to join our welcoming team.
The vacancy is based in Basingstoke on a part time basis.
The Evidence Officer vacancy is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a really varied role where you can be office based one minute,then out and about dropping off and picking up evidence from one of our many locations across Hampshire and Isle of Wight. You will interact with many different departments and get to meet a lot of colleagues across our police force.
This is not a full time desk based job even though you will be using a computer during the working day for about 60% of your time to log evidence and keep track of where it is located, it is also an active job keeping you on your feet (and toes).
You will need to be able to focus on very in depth computer processes which require two computer screens and multiple windows open at any one time; you will need to be able to multitask and be prepared to stop what you’re doing to serve somebody, and pick up again where you left off.
You must be equally willing to undertake the physical aspects of the job.
What do we need from you?
You will need to be customer focused as you will be in contact with both internal and external customer, open minded to what you see and move as you will handle a wide range of evidential items which will vary in size and weight.
You will be reuniting people with property so you need to show empathy to make the collection of items after an investigation as minimally distressing as possible.
We are looking for someone with attention to detail, someone who can both follow instructions (written and verbal), work by themselves and find information, we also need you to be conscientious and precise with a high standards of quality. Not only will you be working on your own or as part of a team, you will also need very good customer service skills as you will be working with internal and external customers who all need to be treated as individuals.
Resilience and the ability to remain calm under pressure are qualities we are looking for as some of our customers will attend requesting their property back when we still need to hold onto it for evidence.
Good communication skills are essential.
Be aware that some of the evidence you will be handling may be distressing or unpleasant / contaminated.
