Re the police aviation job at Filton:
Apart from the offered salary, the PIC hours requiremen are too low. For a single pilot operation that requires flying (and landing) in unusual (at times) situations, combined with night/winter ops, the hands on experience level (as opposed to S & L flying, auto pilot in) is of prime importance.
I would hazard a guess that there's not too many ethnically minority and/or disabled heli pilots in UK, but if there is - the best of luck.
