FAQs

Do you have vacancies?

You are advised to check our website (where you can apply online), job centres and local newspapers as all our vacancies are advertised there.

 

Can I put my name on a waiting list?

No, you need to see a vacancy and then apply for it. On occasions, when there is more than one position vacant, successful applicants are kept on a waiting list and are given a start date as soon as a post becomes available.

 

Can I send you my CV?

No, we do not accept CVs on their own. All candidates should request and fill in an application form for specific vacancies. CVs are accepted only if enclosed with the application form.

 

Can I put my old application forward for another post?

No, it is important that you fill in a new form for each position you are interested in. An old or previous form might not be relevant to the post you wish to apply for. There are job descriptions and person specifications for each post and they are all different and relevant to that specific post. You are advised to address the criteria enclosed in the person specification.

It is also important that you provide the most up to date information in the application form.

 

Can you give me feedback?

Due to the number of applications received, the Suffolk Constabulary has a policy of not providing feedback. You can be assured that the utmost consideration is given to each individual application before making any decision. Remember that you are competing with other applicants - make sure you give us as much information as possible.
