Applications are invited from the seven Forces within the North East region (Cleveland, Durham, Humberside, Northumbria, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire) to join the NETIC (North East Transformation, Innovation and Collaboration) team.  

These seven Forces have committed to working more closely together to protect the communities they serve. There are already many examples of established collaboration programmes across the region, including Yorkshire and the Humber, the NERSOU (North East Regional Special Operations Unit), and Evolve (Cleveland, Durham and North Yorkshire).

Alongside this intention, there are several programmes of work taking place at a national level to transform the way in which certain police capabilities are delivered. These include the national Specialist Capabilities programme, Networked Policing, and Transforming Forensics.

In order to prepare proposals for collaboration, and to both shape and respond to national proposals, the Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables have established a central team. The team will lead change, predict national changes, engage locally, regionally and nationally, and will increase regional efficiency and effectiveness.

The NETIC Business Analyst is a pivotal role within the NETIC team, reporting to the NETIC Policy Officer and with substantial exposure to PCCs, their Offices and Force Executive teams. One of the key functions will be to attend a range of regional meetings with chief officers, PCCs and other senior staff to record actions and ensure the governance processes within the region run smoothly. As such an excellent standard of communication and organisation is a key requirement.

The successful candidate will carry out analysis to enable Forces and OPCCs in the region to develop and deliver effective and efficient regional collaboration. This includes developing understanding of comparative capabilities within individual Forces, identifying and assessing opportunities, and evaluating the potential impact of national proposals on individual Forces.

  • Assists in the maintenance of an audit trail of information and its source to ensure the accuracy, quality and integrity.
