Staff are being sought to man a police enquiry desk due to reopen in Newton Abbot.

Devon and Cornwall Police will reopen front desks at police stations in five locations across the two counties, including Falmouth, Newton Abbot, Penzance, Tiverton and Truro, after a decision by Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez and Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer.

The enquiry offices will be open from 10am to 3pm six days a week.

Staff would work 15 hours a week with a salary of £8,852-£9,792 (£21,837-£24,156 full time equivalent) and also a weekend working allowance.

The role includes being the first point of contact for reported crimes and police incidents, responding to enquiries from the public and other agencies, and more.

Police are looking for people with 'a proven customer focus approach, excellent communication skills, the ability to work under challenging and difficult circumstances and effective team working skills.' Full training will be provided.

PCC Alison Hernandez said: "I know people across Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly really value their police stations. They are places of safety where people can report crime, get help and advice on preventing crime and access support services.

"These part time jobs represent fantastic opportunities for the right people to make a difference in their communities and will suit those looking for rewarding part time work that is of real value."
