The role:
Northumbria Police is entering an exciting new era of technology led change in which data and information plays an essential role and is at the heart of the service the Force delivers.
To support the effective and efficient delivery of the Force’s data and information service, the digital policing department would like to recruit a capable, experienced and motivated Data & Information Manager to lead the delivery, design and management of new Force data infrastructures and technologies as well as the efficient administration and management of the numerous critical databases that underpin the service the Force delivers.
