Babcock – Emergency Services and training
Police Lecturers PEQF
Babcock is the Metropolitan Police Service’s (Met Police) learning partner, working with a collaboration of four London-based universities – Anglia Ruskin University, Brunel University London, University of East London and University of West London – to support the UK’s largest police service with the training of its new officer recruits.

The partnership with the Met Police will last until at least 2028, with a possibility to extend for a further two years, and is set at a maximum contract value of £309 million, dependent on the number of recruits trained under the programme.

Due to continued growth in volumes, we are looking to recruit a number of individuals with recent Policing experience to deliver highly engaging lecturer led lessons, role-plays and practical sessions to the next generation of police recruits. The role of a Lecturer is a rewarding position that will give you the opportunity to use your experience to guide and mentor students on their journey to becoming fully fledged police officers.

You’ll be part of a business that supports over 14,000 apprentices, we’ll provide you with all the training that you need to become a fully qualified Lecturer. During your training we will provide in-depth practical support from experts in this field as well as funding your PGCHE (if you don’t already have it).

What do I need to be able to do the role?

You will need to be degree educated (or equivalent) whilst also having up to date relevant operational experience in policing.

We would also like you to have experience in all of these areas:

• Excellent literacy and communication skills.
• Be a confident speaker, ideally with experience of delivering training sessions to groups of people or individuals.
• Ideally not have left a policing role more than 5 years ago, however we will consider candidates depending on experience since leaving.

What else do I need to know?

• Successful applicants will need NPPV1 via the Met Police vetting process and an enhanced DBS through the Disclosure and Barring Service, however this will be provided during on boarding.
• These roles are on a permanent basis.
• We will be recruiting for these roles on a rolling basis – please express your interest early.

 If you feel you have the necessary skills and experience then we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch with either:
