Are you looking for a new and exciting opportunity?
The Eastern Police Investigation Centre are looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking qualified PIP2 Police Staff Investigator, with a strong work ethic, to join their Child Abuse Investigation Team.
Are you a lateral thinker who thrives in a fast paced, time driven environment and are committed to making Hampshire and Isle of Wight a safer place for people to live?
As a PIP2 Investigator you will gather and review evidence and undertake investigations relating to volume and priority crime, to ascertain whether a person should be charged with an offence or if a person charged with an offence is guilty of that offence.
The great thing about being part of CAIT is that there is no such thing as a typical day with every day being different. It might involve visiting children at schools, inspection of the living conditions of children, video interview of victims and interviews for suspects either in custody or under caution. No day is the same and the role also gives you the opportunity not to be stuck behind a desk but to go out and about and investigate offences thoroughly and comprehensively.
