Instructor

We are seeking enthusiastic and adaptable people to join our IT Training Team on a temporary basis from October 2026 to June 2027.

The successful candidates will deliver engaging, high-quality training to support staff in effectively using key operational systems.

The Force is committed to the rollout of the new NICHE Digital Case File (DCF) system to over 4,000 police officers and staff between January and June 2027, and this role will play a key part in supporting that delivery.

The postholders will be required to quickly learn and deliver a 5-day NICHE / NICE Investigate course for student officers in a classroom-based environment at Devon & Cornwall Police Headquarters, Middlemoor, Exeter. In addition, they will learn and deliver a one-day online course covering the DCF system, ensuring they remain up to date with ongoing system and process changes throughout the rollout period.

Working as a full member of the IT Training Team, the role requires flexibility, reliability, and a strong team ethic. The postholders will be expected to participate fully in team activities and deliver training independently when required. As training delivery is closely coordinated, dependable attendance is essential—short-notice absence can impact both colleagues—placing additional pressure on the team—and the organisation’s ability to meet scheduled training commitments.

Experience in delivering training or presenting to groups would be advantageous. Candidates who do not already hold a training qualification will be required to undertake the Training Essentials Programme (TEP) at Middlemoor HQ.

Applicants should preferably have a good working knowledge of NICHE RMS, strong communication skills, and the ability to quickly absorb and deliver technical information in a clear and user-friendly way. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is committed to developing others’ IT skills.

If this looks like a role for you, we look forward to receiving your CV.
