Vacancy Information
We are looking for a vehicle maintenance volunteer to join our policing teams based in Elmbridge. This is a flexible opportunity for volunteers to support our teams in a very practical way!
Chief Constables' Message
We really welcome your interest in joining our Police Force. It is a privilege to lead the teams in Surrey Police and Sussex Police who continuously work selflessly and tirelessly in order to keep people in our counties safe.
We are looking for talented and inspirational people who put the needs of the public at the heart of everything that they do and who want to make a difference. If you feel you are that person then we want to hear from you.
We wish you all the very best with your application.
Chief Constable Tim De Meyer & Chief Constable Jo Shiner
The Role & Key Responsibilities
By becoming a vehicle maintenance volunteer, you will help our teams ensure that police vehicles are maintained, equipped and presented to a professional standard.
Once you have completed your initial practical training, you will be asked to commit to a minimum of six hours of volunteering per week between the core business hours of 08:00 and 20:00 Monday to Sunday.
As a vehicle maintenance volunteer, you will be involved in a number of tasks including cleaning and undertaking basic maintenance checks on police vehicles (e.g. oil, tyre pressure etc.) which will supplement the system of checks that are already in place.
Further information can be found within the role profile attached to this advert below.
Skills & Experience
You will need to have excellent attention to detail and good communication skills. You will be asked to work independently as well as with others, so the ability to work within a team will be important.
To apply for this role, you will need to hold a full current driving licence. It would be desirable if your licence included the D1 category as well as C1, but this is not essential.
If you have previous experience of vehicle maintenance and/or presentation, that would be advantageous but again this is not essential as training will be provided by your policing team

We take pride in looking after our volunteers, through volunteering you will have the opportunity to:
1. Experience policing first-hand
2. Meet new people and teams
3. Learn and develop your skills
4. Support your local community
We will reimburse any travel expenses you may incur whilst volunteering and we have recognition schemes in place for us to formally show our appreciation for your service.
As a police support volunteer you will have access to financial and mental well-being guidance and support, discounts for everyday spend, our on-site gyms and a range of sports clubs. Volunteering with us will also allow you to apply for other voluntary and paid positions within the Force.
