User access and permissions administrator

This vacancy offers an exciting opportunity for you to join the CONNECT project working in the CONNECT Data and Configuration team as a user access and permissions administrator. CONNECT will help us to improve the quality of our data, reduce duplication and the need to enter data into systems multiple times.

The user access and permissions administrator will work as part of a team to make sure that all users in the Met are in the correct positions, have the right level of access, and can do everything they need to do on CONNECT to deliver a policing service to the community.

You will work behind the scenes to make sure they match, and that whenever new teams are created this is reflected within CONNECT. You will also be engaging with colleagues across the Met to discuss their requirements to make sure that their officers and staff all have the right access, at the right levels.
