You’ve got flexible hours you can work, compressed hours, flexi time etc. One thing I’ve learnt from the Police service is a respect for diversity.

The role was demanding and challenging (both professionally and personally) but by far the steepest learning experience I have ever had. My general knowledge increased enormously as I had to become familiar with the historical, political and general situation of a wide selection of countries. .... Read the full Editorial
