Metropolitan Police Service Internal Vacancies

Welcome to the Met’s online recruitment system. From here, you can search and apply for vacancies within the Met.

You can search for vacancies by clicking here. Each vacancy will have an online application form should you wish to apply. Sensitive, or confidential, vacancies are listed on the Restricted page – these can only be viewed from a Met device or whilst working on an Aware desktop. All other vacancies can be accessed and applied to from home or whilst in the office.

Registering and Applying

To apply for a vacancy, and follow the progress of your application, you will need to register for an account. You only need to register once, and can do this by clicking ‘register’ in the top-right corner of this page. If trying to apply for a vacancy before you’ve registered, you will be prompted at that stage.

Please note, usernames and passwords are case sensitive. Should you forget your password, you will need to select the ‘forgot your password’ link on the log-in page.

Eligibility

To apply for roles advertised on this site, you must:

  • Be an existing employee of the Met who has completed their probationary period; or
  • Be working with the Met as an agency worker, and have completed 12 months of continuous service with the organisation; or
  • Be a Met Special Constable who has undertaken at least 200 duty hours within the last 12 months; or
  • Be a Met Volunteer who has volunteered for at least 12 months, averaging at least ten hours volunteering per month, and consistently attending VPC meetings over the last year; and
  • You meet all specific eligibility criteria as referenced in the job advert.

Whilst Police Officers and Volunteer Groups (MSC, MVP and VPC) are eligible to apply for internally advertised police staff roles, applications from existing police staff and agency workers will be considered first.

If you do not meet the above criteria, you can view and apply for opportunities advertised to external candidates by clicking here.

Discuss with your Line Manager

Ahead of applying for a role, you should always discuss your application with your Line Manager. Your Line Manager will no longer be asked to countersign your application prior to submission, but if offered a role, your Line Manager will be asked to verify your evidence and feed into pre-posting checks as appropriate.

Best of luck with your application!

SSCL – delivering services in partnership with the Metropolitan Police Service


Disability Confident Statement 

We view diversity as fundamental to our success. To tackle today’s complex policing challenges, we need a workforce made up from all communities that we serve. The Met’s diversity ambition is to create a workforce that looks and feels like London. We will police better and have better trust and engagement with the public if we reflect the communities we serve. Applications from across the community are therefore essential. We particularly welcome applications from ethnic minority groups and females.

As a Disability Confident employer, the Met has committed to making disability equality part of our everyday practice. We are committed to being an inclusive employer with a diverse and representative workforce at all levels and ensuring that disabled people and those with long term health conditions have the opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.

The organisation is committed to providing additional support and adjustments where appropriate to enable people with disabilities to feel more inclusive and have greater accessibility and equality of opportunity at work.

If you consider yourself to have access, workplace or reasonable adjustment requirements that need to be accommodated, we ask that you include this information within your application form. Professional advice (medical or otherwise) related to a request for access and adjustment needs will be sought in most cases. All matters will be treated in strict confidence and will not affect any recruitment decisions.

Should you indicate that you wish for us to consider a reasonable adjustment or access request, we will work with you and your line manager, where necessary, in conjunction with a medical, specialist, or professional advisor. This is to develop suitable adjustments where appropriate, and to enable equality of opportunity for success in the assessment process.

Please note, if you are applying for a police officer role or to become a police community support officer (PCSO) or designated detention officer (DDO), there is a minimum requirement that you must pass a job-related fitness test (JRFT). The core rationale for the JRFT is to ensure that prospective police officers have a minimum level of fitness to be able to undertake Public Safety Training (PST) training. Find out more about police fitness standards.
