Luke Tansley was unemployed for 7 months before taking the opportunity to get back into work at Cambridgeshire Constabulary as a Neighbourhood Support Officer. Luke started on 22nd March.“As a Neighbourhood Support Officer I am responsible for providing administrative services along with engaging and contributing to the community development. To update the police databases, compose spreadsheets, letters and emails. Link relevant departments, individuals and groups within neighbourhood teams using a joined up approach, to reduce anti-social behaviour, crime and the fear of crime and to improve the quality of life for residents and of the environment within our neighbourhoods.”
“Since I have been here I have enjoyed organising the first ever open day in Werrington police station so that the officers could engage with the community, which had a great turn out and was a success. By doing tasks such as this I hope to gain a good understanding of life in the police force and see what it takes to gain a permanent position here.”
“The people who I work with in the Werrington police station, are brilliant and have helped me progress so much already and are always willing to give me advice and assistance in any way they could, so a big thanks to the team.”
“I would like to thank all of the Future Jobs Fund Team for this fantastic experience of a work placement and for all the help and advice they have offered me, also for the training you have given me in my placement so far.”
When asked about the Future Jobs Fund and its benefits. Luke said “I would highly recommend this scheme to anybody seeking employment, has been unemployed for 6 months and currently claiming JSA, as it is a great chance to improve your long term employment.”
