Rejoiner Officers

The Met’s Rejoiners pathway is designed to support ex-officers, with valuable skills and experience, who have resigned from service within the last 5 years and wish to return to policing.

The pathway allows for experienced police officers from Home Office police services to join or re-join the Met.

Open to: All Ranks (Uniform and Detective)

We are welcoming applications from previous experienced officers who have left their role as an officer and would like to return to a career in policing by joining the Metropolitan Police Service.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must have left a Home Office force within the last 5 years, passed their probationary period before having left, and have completed public and personal safety refresher training (PPST, previously known as OST) within the last 4.5 years.

Applicants that left the police service as a Constable/Detective Constable or Sergeant/Detective Sergeant will be able to return at that rank.

We will assess applications from senior officers based on where we have particular gaps in skills or experience from the ranks of Inspector up to and including Chief Superintendent.

Locations:

Spanning across London within 12 Basic Command Units (BCUs).

Hours:

Between 16 and 40 hours per week

We view diversity as fundamental to our success. To tackle today’s complex policing challenges, we need a workforce consisting of all of London’s communities. Applications from across the community are therefore essential.
