DI Becky Kalam-becky.kalam@westmidlands.police.uk

Location of Role  – Perry Barr Custody Block

Train: there are trains from New Street to Perry Barr train station and the police station is 10-15 mins walk away.

Bus: From Birmingham City Centre the 997(E), 934, 935 which you can get from the top of Corporation Street (outside the Magistrates Court), all go to Perry Barr and there is a stop at the end of Holford Drive.  The police station is 5 minutes’ walk from there. 

West Midlands Police is a Disability Confident Leader - the highest level an organisation can achieve under the scheme run by the Department of Work and Pensions.  As part of our commitment we operate a ‘Disability Confident Interview Scheme’ - all candidates who declare a disability and meet the essential criteria for the role will be offered an interview. 

It is important to note that there may be occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all disabled people who meet the essential criteria for the job. For example: in certain recruitment situations such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people. In these circumstances, the employer could select the candidates who best meet the essential criteria for the job, as they would do for non-disabled applicants.
