RSR | NRCN Jobs

RSR Police are partnered with The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) in seeking an experienced, dynamic policy and campaigns manager to lead its work around tackling crime in rural communities.

This is a part time (3 -4 days a week) fixed term contract for 12 months paying £40-£45K per annum pro rata.

Background

The National Rural Crime Network (Network) is a membership group made up of Police and Crime Commissioners from across the political spectrum, and organisations interested in rural community safety and affairs, such as Crime stoppers, Countryside Alliance, NFU, NFU Mutual and Historic England (to name some). It aims to influence national and local decision makers about policy and practice in relation to rural crime, so the challenges and concerns of rural communities are better understood and supported accordingly by policing and crime services.

Collectively members have the ability to reach and engage with thousands of people living, working and enjoying rural England and Wales.

A key part of the Network’s work is to commission research and use evidence-based insight to challenge and develop local and national policing policy and crime prevention.
