PCSOs work as part of Safer Neighbourhood teams, alongside police officers and partner organisations, to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in the community.
Their main role is to patrol on foot, ensuring a highly visible presence on the streets and to work proactively to address crime trends and problems within local areas.
Most of the available posts are in Derby but a small number of vacancies may be available in Chesterfield and Buxton.
This is the first PCSO recruitment since the spring of 2015, when 16 new PCSOs were taken on.
