The 52,000 people who make up the Metropolitan Police Service are as different and diverse as the millions of Londoners they serve. But whoever they are, and whatever their role, they all work as one team with the aim of delivering quality policing that builds trust and makes London the world’s safest major city.  

As the UK’s largest police service, we can offer forensic scientists a fast-paced environment and the chance to develop their skills working for the Evidence Recovery Unit on major and specialist crime scene investigations across the capital. 

We’ll look to you to provide effective technical leadership in the forensic laboratory – supervising, training, mentoring and developing a team of scientists and other specialists – as well as playing a hands-on role in major crime investigations at the scene and in the laboratory.  Currently a supervisor or reporting scientist in a forensic science laboratory, you must have experience of major crime scenes, in addition to being able to develop people and processes.

We’re looking for a relevant science degree or equivalent, along with experience of attending crime scenes and conducting laboratory-based examinations. The ability to interpret body fluid evidence and retrieve and sample exhibits for DNA analysis and/or the ability to enhance, recover and compare shoe marks will be essential. Experience of giving court evidence in written and oral form and reporting on casework from major crimes is also required. You should also be able to influence new ways of working and develop junior staff. 

You will also need a full driving licence.

In return, we offer a range of benefits that includes choice of pension scheme, interest-free season ticket loan, generous holidays and access to an active sports and social club.
