Job description
Are you an experienced Chief Inspector, a serving officer looking for a fresh challenge, or recently retired from UK policing and keen to put your leadership skills to use in a unique and rewarding environment?
Investigo Government Solutions have partnered with Guernsey Police as part of their ongoing expansion plan. We are seeking experienced Chief Inspectors (or recently retired UK Chief Inspectors) to join on a permanent basis. These positions offer fantastic benefits along with a four-year additional relocation allowance.
Summary of the position:
Chief Inspectors play a pivotal role within the Senior Leadership Team of Guernsey Police. They are responsible for providing strategic and tactical leadership across a portfolio of operational and/or specialist policing functions, contributing directly to organisational strategy, policy development, and operational planning.
This is a role that combines leadership of large teams with operational command responsibility - whether that's managing critical incidents, overseeing major investigations, or driving organisational programmes. Chief Inspectors in Guernsey Police work closely with multi-agency partners, government bodies, and community stakeholders to protect the public, reduce crime, and ensure a high-performing, values-led policing service.
Key Responsibilities:
· Lead, motivate, and develop large teams of officers and staff, promoting wellbeing and maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards.
· Plan, manage, and monitor complex operational or specialist policing activities, ensuring the most effective use of resources.
· Take command of major or critical incidents, applying sound decision-making and risk management strategies.
· Work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to deliver high-quality policing outcomes.
· Contribute to strategic planning, setting and delivering against organisational objectives, and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
· Manage budgets effectively, ensuring value for money and best use of resources.
· Represent the organisation at national and international forums as required.
Key Skills / Experience Required:
· Substantial operational policing experience at Inspector rank or above.
· Proven track record in leading specialist areas such as investigations, operations, safeguarding, or professional standards.
· Strong leadership and management skills, with the ability to inspire confidence and deliver results through teams.
· Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage confidently with diverse audiences.
· Ability to make complex operational decisions under pressure, demonstrating sound judgement and integrity.
· Collaborative mindset, able to work effectively with senior colleagues, partner agencies, and community stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications / Experience:
· Police Leadership or equivalent senior management qualification.
· Breadth of policing experience across different portfolios.
· Cadre Firearms Command, Public Order Commander, or Senior Investigating Officer accreditation (desirable but not essential).
If you're ready for a leadership role where your skills, experience, and judgement can have a direct and lasting impact on a community, we want to hear from you.
Next Steps: If the above sounds like you, please apply with an up-to-date CV. Upon application, we will be in touch for a detailed conversation about your experience, motivations, and the recruitment process.
The application process will require additional documentation, which will be explained fully during the initial call.
