Jobs in Birmingham, United Kingdom

West Midlands Police are pleased to offer all Home Office Officers that have served 30 years the opportunity to retire and rejoin via the 30+ Scheme. The scheme allows eligible police officers to retire and return to policing as a warranted officer after a minimum of a 31‑day break in service. Officers who retire and then re‑join are eligible to take their lump‑sum and draw their pension until they return. The scheme also allows officers to re‑join and contribute to the 2015 scheme if they wish.

West Midlands Police is the second‑largest police force in the country, serving the three major cities of Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton, along with the districts of Sandwell, Walsall, Solihull and Dudley. The force handles more than 2,000 emergency calls every day, patrols the streets and responds to incidents 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Recent improvements have reduced overall crime, improved call response times and increased arrest rates. As a leading employer, we need the right people to serve and protect our communities.
