About Police Digital Service
The Technical Business Analyst role operates within the National Standards function which provides policing with a key service.
The service is a combination of technology, governance, overseeing standards communities and working with national bodies/government to promote convergence, in support of the successful and timely delivery of the ambitions described in the National Policing Digital Strategy.
The role has the scope to exert significant influence over the whole of the digital estate within UK policing. Adoption of standards offers significant benefits and cost savings across UK policing, including improved speed of delivery and improved interoperability. The National Standards team will work directly with Policing to guide them through the adoption of standards and remove barriers preventing their rollout.
Our Values are:
We value People

- Manage the processes, procedures and workflows that allow Policing to access the standards and request assistance from the National Standards team.
- Ensure that an active community of practitioners across a range of categories (such as forensics, data and security) is maintained. Practitioners are essential for promoting standards within their own forces and organisations, they also provide significant input into the standards that are available on the platform.
