ARU Police Education - Instructor in Police Education - Essex
About the role:
ARU are delighted to be working with The Metropolitan Police and the Seven Police Forces in the Eastern Region – Essex, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk – to train the Police Officers of the future. We are offering the new Police Education Qualification Framework (PEQF) Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and the Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) developed by the College of Policing.
As result we have new job opportunities in the coming months, and we are excited to be offering these to you. This is a chance to be involved in shaping the Police Officers of the future and get involved in an industry leading program.
The PEQF aims to further professionalise policing as a career, by both recognising and raising educational standards, and ARU has been selected by the Seven Force Strategic Collaboration Programme to provide the educational training for two new entry routes into the profession.
New Police Constables will enrol on a three-year Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA), which combines a degree programme with on-the-job training, while a two-year Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) will be available for new recruits who already have a degree.
In this round, we are looking for Instructors to deliver police education (lectures, seminars, tutorials, etc.) and support the Senior and Principal Instructors with programme review and development.
This post will be located at Police Force sites in Essex.
You will work with police trainer colleagues at these locations and, initially, you will be responsible for a single cohort of student police officers studying on the PCDA / DHEP.
Instructor - £37,099 - £42,978 p.a. pro rata

Successful candidates will also require Non Police Personnel Vetting (NPPV) level 2 (Full) clearance as you will have unsupervised access to police premises.
The ability to travel between police establishments and ARU campuses is required for roles within the ARU PEQF programmes.
Candidates should contact Gias Uddin, Principal Instructor in Police Education, at [email protected] for an informal discussion.
