Recruitment events and workshops
We know that applying for a new job can be daunting, that’s why we have developed a number of recruitment events and workshops to help you through the recruitment process.
It is our aim to build our workforce to reflect the diversity of our communities by attracting the best talent from the widest pool of people. We have therefore developed events which are targeted to individuals from "under-represented" groups who are not accurately represented in our workforce. We are proud to use Positive Action to help us achieve this.

Fitness test preparation workshop
The police fitness test is part of the recruitment process and involves you running a 15 metre track in time with bleeps which get increasingly faster.
At this preparation workshop we will:
- detail the process and what to expect
- provide ideas and training tips
- share with you our experiences of the test to help you get yourself ready
Interview skills workshop
Many employers use competency-based interviews to determine whether a candidate has specific skills related to the role that they are applying for. It is important to prepare for a competency-based interview as this can equip you with the confidence and knowledge that is needed to successfully convey why you would be the best fit for the role.
Our workshop will guide you through how to prepare for a competency based interview and give you competency-based interview tips.
