This is an exciting opportunity to join the Real Time Resourcing Desk (RTRD) Team as a RTRD Administrator within the Metropolitan Police.

MO6 is a multi-faceted OCU that not only plans and delivers all policing plans in response to spontaneous and pre-planned events in London, we are also responsible for the delivery of all CARM (Computer Aided Resource Management) related work such as yearly roster renewals, shift pattern changes, the movement of staff around the MPS, CARM access, overtime, pay queries and the management of annual leave and rest days.

The Role

As a RTRD Administrator, you are responsible for providing real-time resourcing and mobilisation support across the Metropolitan Police Service, ensuring officers are deployed effectively to meet operational and public order demands. You will complete data analysis to provide the Met with an overview of the resource capability at any time, indicating available skills & resources currently booked on duty. You will monitor ‘booking on & off’ compliance and provide feedback to aid the development of de-brief documents to drive MPS wide improvements.   

Working for the Met doesn’t have to mean patrolling the streets. Just as important as our uniformed officers is our 14,000-strong team of professional and support staff working behind the scenes. It’s these skilled people who provide the organisational capability to police London.

Duties & Responsibilities

  • Track and record officer booking on & off compliance in the CARM system to ensure accurate data is provided to Management Board, the Met Grip chief and MO6 SLT.
  • Produce live resourcing analysis to inform senior command teams of current skills and capabilities available for deployment.
  • Rapidly mobilise officers and assets during service mobilisations, ensuring resources are deployed where operational need is greatest.
  • Maintain and update Location Based Comments and Special Schemes on CAD to ensure accurate operational records.
  • Liaise with MO6 Senior Leadership Team, Met Grip Chief, and contingency planners to provide real-time information that informs operational decisions.
  • Provide feedback regarding live service mobilisations for debrief purposes, supporting organisational learning and improvements to resourcing processes.
  • Escalate issues relating to officer availability, system errors, or resourcing conflicts to the Sergeant for resolution.

Benefits

You will enjoy the kind of great benefits that you’d expect from one of London's largest employers.

These include:

  • Annual leave entitlement of 28 days plus bank holidays, rising to 33 days after 5 years of service
  • Civil service pension arrangements
  • Interest free season ticket loans
  • Membership of Met sports and social clubs
  • Flexible working conditions and many more.

This role is eligible for a 20% Shift Disturbance Allowance
