This is a unique opportunity for an experienced armourer to join us: there isn’t another Police Service in the UK with the variety of challenges that this role offers. Our Specialist Firearms Command unit supports armed colleagues who are working operationally across London.
Joining our dynamic environment, you will inspect, service and maintain all operational and training police firearms (and less lethal options), to demanding quality standards. A clear communicator, you will offer guidance and maintenance training to operational staff with a wide range of user requirements, so they have complete confidence in their equipment. Supporting the Force Armourer, you will play a key role in controlling MPS records and auditing firearms to ensure that standards are maintained.
This role includes some travel around different bases within the MPS where necessary. The hours of work are typically Mon-Fri 8am – 4pm but there is scope for flexibility.
