Join a Team Where Your Voice and Values Matter
Are you a current or former Police Officer looking for a new challenge or a return to policing? British Transport Police (BTP) are recruiting a dedicated, community-focused officer to join us as uniformed Police Constables at both Motherwell and Glasgow in our D Division.
Make a Real Impact
At BTP, we champion modern, people-first policing. From safeguarding passengers to supporting vulnerable individuals and preventing crime, no two days are the same. Our officers are more than law enforcers; they are listeners, problem-solvers, and protectors of community trust.
This is a role where your empathy, communication skills, and emotional intelligence are every bit as valued as your operational experience.
Why Join BTP?
We believe a supportive workplace is key to success. That’s why we offer:
Flexible working arrangements wherever possible
A strong focus on wellbeing, mental health support, and inclusive leadership
Real opportunities to progress through diverse career pathways
Family-friendly policies and a culture that understands life beyond work
Join a force where your ideas are welcomed, your development is prioritised, and your unique strengths are seen as assets.
