JOIN US AT BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE (BTP) AS WE RECRUIT PCSOS (POLICE COMMUNITY SUPPORT OFFICERS) TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES

Superintendent David Rams said: “Our Police Community Support officers are an integral part of our British Transport Police family. They carry out vital work across the railway network to keep passengers and staff safe. We care deeply about our Police Community Support officers who deliver an exceptional service to our communities across England and Wales.”

LOCATIONS

We are looking for PCSO’s within our C Division: Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, Oxford, Swansea and Swindon.
For Welsh posting locations the ability to speak Welsh is desirable but not an essential skill in the selection process.

In return for your commitment, you will receive:

• Competitive salary: £27,338.69 and up to 20% shift allowance.
• A minimum of 15% shift allowance will be received upon completion of 8 weeks training. Shift allowance can be up to 20% but will default to 15% in the first instance. This will increase year on year, until you reach the top spine point.
• Benefits including 28 rising to 30 days holiday, travel benefits, and access to internal progression opportunities.
• Continuous learning and development opportunities supported by our in-house talent & development teams. Including internal progression to become a Police Officer.

BTP is seeking PCSOs to join our team, protecting and serving the railway environment and its community to minimise disruption, crime, and fear of crime. This role is crucial to our mission.
Like Home Office PCSOs, BTP PCSOs focus on enforcing BTP Byelaws within the railway environment, offering diverse responsibilities where no two days are the same. Responsibilities include conducting visible patrols at stations, victim care, security threat management, minor crime investigations, community relationship-building, and supporting PCs. Unlike Home Office police forces, our PCSOs are trained and equipped with handcuffs.
Ideal candidates should demonstrate resilience, excellent customer service skills, and a passion for community engagement and partnership-building. PCSOs should be prepared to work shifts, including weekends and bank holidays.
