This is an exciting new opportunity for PIP2 investigators to support Operation Beaconport and work within the Major Crime Unit Complex Child Sexual Exploitation Team.

Operation Beaconport is the national policing response to review previously filed group-based child sexual abuse crimes investigated between 2010-2025 to consider if any should potentially be re-investigated. TVP is looking for experienced PIP2 investigators to support the enquiries arising from any reinvestigations that we are asked to undertake by the national Op Beaconport team.

Applications are sought from qualified PIP2 investigators looking develop themselves and work in the investigation of the most complex and serious offences. Successful applicants will be taking a pivotal role in the reinvestigation of group based CSE offences, whilst also having the opportunity to support on-going complex CSE investigations as well as to work within Major Crime Incident Rooms.

Interested applicants should contact TDCI Stuart May, Complex CSE Team, Major Crime, Aylesbury Police Station.

This is an On-Site role.

If you are a permanent member of staff applying for this role, please note it will be offered on a secondment basis. Important: All secondments must be supported in writing by your Line Manager and Head of Department/Commander or Deputy. Please attach written approval from your line manager and Head of Department in your application. If the secondment is not supported then the role may be offered on a fixed term contract basis, but this has implications including loss of continuous service protections.

Please note: Shift allowance, on-call or other job-related allowances from the previous role will not be protected unless they are attached to the new role for the duration of the secondment.

As part of the Thames Valley Police family, you will enjoy a fantastic range of benefits including 24 days annual leave per annum, pro-rata for part time (plus Bank Holidays), flexible working conditions, a wide range of lifestyle discounts, career development opportunities and have the option to join a local government pension scheme. For more information on our benefits, please visit the supporting you page, via the link at the bottom of the advert.

If you have any queries, please contact the Recruitment Team at quoting reference 23850/23851/23852. We will endeavour to respond to your query as quickly as possible.

The closing date for enquiries and receipt of completed applications is Sunday 25th October 2026.
