Do you care about making a difference in the job you do? Then becoming a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) could be for you.

PCSOs are all about providing that vital link between the community and the police service to help make sure everyone has the support they need. Being a PCSO can be challenging, but it is also a role that includes variety, meaning and excitement.

You will be supporting frontline policing by undertaking tasks such as stopping speeding outside our schools, reporting vandalism or reducing anti-social behaviour – your work will make a real difference in keeping South Wales safe.

As a PCSO you will be working in the heart of our communities providing a visible, accessible and approachable uniformed presence. It is essential that you will be able to demonstrate the following attributes:

• Good communication skills: It is essential that you are able to listen to the needs and concerns of others
• Ability to develop effective working relationships: As a PCSO you will need to be proactive in building trust and confidence with both colleagues and the community
• Ability to work alone and as part of a team: Often your work as a PCSO will see you operating on your own, but it is important that you are able to effectively contribute to activities in the wider local community
