Sergeant Vacancies
Derbyshire Constabulary is committed to providing a high-quality policing service to the people of Derbyshire. To support this commitment we are looking to recruit individuals who share our passion for public service.
We are currently looking for additional Sergeants to support our Custody Team. The expectation would be that any transferees would commit to 2 years in a Custody role before applying for other positions within the Constabulary.
We would like to invite applications from substantive Sergeants or Constables on promotion to the rank of Sergeant who will help us reinforce and monitor our core standards:
- Leaving a professional, respectful, and positive impression on those we deal with
- Making sure things are dealt with right first time
- Making a suitable assessment of threat and risk
- Providing a proportionate and professional response
- Recognising and addressing vulnerability in all its forms
- Undertaking a good quality of investigation with the victim at the heart of it
Newly promoted Sergeants are likely to be initially posted into a response role to help them complete their Work Based Assessment prior to moving into custody.
If you believe you have the leadership skills we’re looking for we’d like to hear from you.
Please send your CV with a covering email detailing why you would like to join us to the following email address: HRLeadershipandTalent@Derbyshire.PNN.Police.UK
The closing date for applications is 9th January 2023. Interviews will be held over the week beginning 30th January.

Working for Derbyshire
A diverse county
Derbyshire Constabulary has a strong and unequivocal commitment to delivering a high-quality policing service for everyone in Derbyshire – whether for our one million residents or our 10 million visitors to the Peak District.
We’re not the largest of forces but we make the headlines because we aren’t afraid to try new approaches, guided by our principles of doing the right thing, making a difference and shaping the future.
Whilst our urban areas present some challenging policing problems, Derbyshire is a predominantly rural area, much of it within the Peak District National Park, offering opportunities for an outdoor lifestyle and an enhanced quality of life. Our central location, with excellent transport links, makes us accessible from most areas of the country.
