A strong proficiency in the use of Microsoft Office applications (Word and Excel) is essential. An understanding of ISO/FSR standards/requirements/accreditation would be beneficial but is not essential as the role will provide opportunity for development in this area.

Applicants must also be prepared to work flexibly to suit the needs of the business and to travel throughout the Yorkshire and Humber area as required. Please refer to the role profile to ensure that you meet all the essential elements before applying. Supported by West Yorkshire Police, the YatH RSSS offers a range of employee benefits including the following:

• Flexi-time scheme - this allows employees the fluidity to flex their daily start and finish times within the parameters of a 'bandwidth' period and, subject to agreement, to take additional hours as 'flexi leave'.
• Agile working - where agreed and where the requirements of the role allow, this includes the provision of an agile working kit to enable home-working and working at alternative locations as appropriate., Applicants should be aware that it is not always possible to carry out adequate vetting checks on persons who have not been resident within the UK for the last five years. Therefore, where this applies, applicants may be refused because it was not possible to vet them to the appropriate standard.
