We are seeking experienced former Officers or Detectives to join the Metropolitan Police Service as Civilian Investigators within the Public Protection portfolio.

You will play a key part in supporting Detectives investigating serious and complex offences—including rape, serious sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic abuse.

• Identify and support vulnerable persons throughout investigations, ensuring appropriate safeguarding and regular updates.
  
  
• Collaborate effectively with partner agencies, including Children’s and Adults’ Social Care, Health, and Education.
  
  
• Assist in gathering, reviewing, and collating documentary and third-party evidence.
  
  
• Support major, non-recent, and cold case investigations, including operations such as Op Granbury (e.g., reviewing survivor applications, completing checks via police indices, and obtaining external information).
  
  

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Proven investigative background with experience in statement taking, victim interviewing, and evidence collation.
  
  
• Strong working knowledge of criminal law and police procedures.
  
  
• Ability to appraise, evaluate, and present information and evidence accurately and efficiently.
  
  
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage confidently with victims, witnesses, colleagues, and partner agencies.
  
  
• Self-motivated, disciplined, and capable of working independently or as part of a team.
  
  
• PIP2 accreditation is desirable but not essential.
