WA Police has launched a recruiting drive to attract members for its Aboriginal Cadet Program.
Police recruiters said the program would provide participants with a first-hand view of the exciting and dynamic world of policing.
“Cadets gain exposure to a range of policing activities and get a true taste of what it means to be part of the WA Police Force family,” the recruiters said.
“Applicants must be between 17 and 25 years of age and of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. They are paid during their training and will earn a nationally accredited qualification at the end of the program.”
They said the cadets would develop workplace skills under the guidance of experienced police officers.
“You will receive important job-related training and will also attend formal class-based training provided in partnership with North Metropolitan TAFE,” they said.
“You will be supported throughout your learning journey and will have access to mentors to assist you in reaching your career goals.”
The recruiters said successful applicants would receive an initial 12-month contract with a possible extension to 24 months, a competitive salary, uniform, shift allowances and generous leave entitlements.
It warned that all applicants would be subject to random drug and alcohol testing during the recruitment process and throughout their employment if appointed.
Applications are now open and the next school is scheduled to begin in January 2021.
