Police Staff roles, whilst specific in title, are graded against the pay and grading structures of the Northern Ireland Civil Service. All advertised roles will state on the job description the pay scale and additional allowances commensurate with that role (e.g. Environmental Allowance, on call allowance). Some of our specialist Occupational Health and Wellbeing roles will be paid against alternative pay scales and may attract additional allowances which will be stated in the advertisement and job description.
For reference please use the following link to download a full list of the Northern Ireland Civil Service Pay Scales currently in place (we currently use 2025 pay scales applicable from 1st August 2025). These pay scales are reviewed on an annual basis.
