CJ PNC Data Officer - HC623023 in Southampton

If you would like to learn about the Criminal Justice system, while playing an integral role in its running and keeping our communities safe, this could be the job for you. Our Criminal Justice PNC team is responsible for managing and inputting data onto the Police National Computer database system (PNC). The data is received in various ways - through our internal Records Management System, email, court systems etc. It can be from the time someone has been arrested right through to conviction and also for those that have impending prosecutions, cautions or have been arrested but not charged (NFA - no further action).

This role can be quite challenging, and the duties on any day will include:

• Inputting and updating data in the PNC system including court outcomes, bail conditions, and a variety of court orders made.
• Maintaining subject descriptive information in the PNC system, such as photographic descriptions of appearance, scars or notable identifiers.
• Transferring data between the different IT systems used across the force.

The data that you will be responsible for in this role is crucially important, as the improper handling of it can have serious repercussions in the safety of our communities. Attention to detail, accuracy and making sure records are updated in a timely manner is therefore key.

In addition to the PNC, you will be working with a number of different police systems including internal record management system (RMS), Libra and Common Platform. So, excellent IT skills, and an ability to learn new systems, is a must. An intensive course of in-house training will prepare you to effectively use all the police systems that you will need.

You will be working in an office environment with a highly experienced and committed team, making sure that all responsibilities are shared and covered equally by using a rota based work system. After your initial training, you will have the opportunity to work at home 3 days a week, with 2 days in the office should you wish to.
