South Wales Police is excited to launch our 2022 Intern Programme; we are looking for people with diverse skills and experiences to join our successful team.

About the role

This is an excellent opportunity for applicants who are looking for a 12 month work placement to join a specialist department and gain work experience and training.

In joining #TeamSWP you will be joining a leading force and one where you will be able to contribute new ideas and work to make a difference in society.

South Wales Police particularly welcomes applicants from under-represented groups.

Who you are

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to work in the Joint Legal Services team for 12 months during which you will undertake a variety of support and research tasks to assist in the contentious and non-contentious work of the team (which include contracts, employment, commercial property, operational policing law and litigation). The Joint Legal Services advises both Gwent Police and South Wales Police and as such you may be working in both force areas.

The programme commences September 2022 and in order to be eligible for the intern programme you will need to be studying for a law degree and looking for a ‘sandwich placement’ or alternatively you will have graduated with a law degree within 3 years. Please note that you cannot apply if you have already undertaken an internship with South Wales Police.

This role is not suitable for part time/job share workers due to operational requirements.

The successful Candidate must be willing to undergo vetting to MV/SC Vetting.

Please be aware that if your current post is within the Public Service Centre, if you were employed after 1st February 2017 you must have completed 2 years’ tenured service before applying for any other roles.

If you are currently involved in a PSD Investigation then you will not be eligible to apply for this role.

All applicants will have to complete pre-employment checks.
