Do you want to be a hero and make a better life for your community? Do you have a desire to catch criminals while comfortably seated in a secure air conditioned office? If your answer is Yes, then read on. An exciting opportunity has arisen for CCTV operators to join our team on a part-time flexible basis. From the pleasant environment of our Boston CCTV Control Room we operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to protect the vulnerable and assist the police to create safer communities. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong observation skills, attention to detail and a curious, problem‑solving approach. You will feel comfortable communicating clearly and respectfully in both written and spoken English, and working collaboratively with a range of stakeholders, including external partner organisations such as Lincolnshire Police. You will approach all interactions with professionalism, courtesy and a commitment to positive communication. As a CCTV operator, your responsibilities will include operating CCTV cameras, monitoring screens and keeping accurate logs, liaising with police and multi‐tasking. A good CCTV operator remains calm in an emergency, yet eager to help those in need and works well as part of a team. The role is challenging yet rewarding, providing opportunities to make a difference to the lives of those who live in the areas we monitor.

You will receive an increase each year, eventually reaching £13.99 after four years (£16.09 night rate) A current SIA Public Space CCTV license is desirable, but not essential.
