Could you manage and uphold compliance and assurance standards to support national security?
Your skills could help protect the UK. There has never been a more important time to be working in counter terrorism.
Every day offers a variety of exciting challenges and exceptional opportunities played out on a national and often international stage. You’ll be amongst some of the best and brightest – all with a common goal of working to keep people safe.
You will be working for ERSOU Counter Terrorism Policing Compliance and Assurance team and will oversee regional and national governance and assurance functions on behalf of ERSOU and CT Policing across the UK. This will include maintaining policies as well as assuring business processes across the ERSOU region and national CT policing network are consistent and of the highest standard.
Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) hosts the Counter Terrorism Policing function for Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex police forces as part of the Counter Terrorism Policing Network.
Compliance and Assurance within Counter Terrorism Policing is expanding. We are looking for an innovative and highly motivated individual with the ability to work independently and manage a small team to help deliver key governance objectives. The role of the ERSOU CTP Business Assurance team is to drive adherence to policies and standards, improve performance and monitor the status of compliance across the region and the Counter Terrorism Policing Network.
Whilst you will specialise in Business Assurance, a broad knowledge of Information Security and risks is desirable to gain a more rounded understanding of the assurance functions and their inter-dependencies.
You will be responsible for providing Business Assurance for counter terrorism and domestic extremism governance bodies, that policies and procedures are adhered to. You will support the ERSOU region and other regions across the Counter Terrorism Policing Network to establish local mechanisms to continually monitor and maintain compliance. This will involve IT related monitoring and audits, and the ability to collate, interpret and evaluate information to produce detailed reports in a clear format. You will produce high level reports for senior management on business assurance activity and findings and provide recommendations for areas which require development.
The role will involve national travel facilitating independent inspections and reviews across the Counter Terrorism Policing Network to support compliance with policies, processes and procedures. You will support continual improvement including promoting best practice across the Counter Terrorism Policing Network.
You will provide business-driven advice on managing security and information risk, consistent with Counter Terrorism Policing and UK Government Information Assurance policy. Through participating in local and national workshops/forums, you will represent the necessary assurance functions. Engaging and influencing internal and external stakeholders to promote compliance and consistency will be crucial.
Within CT Policing you will have the chance to learn new skills and be part of a dynamic team operating at the highest level of national responsibilities with opportunities for professional development.
Work for us and you could be at the forefront of national security and public safety, working alongside emergency service colleagues, government agencies, intelligence services and the military to help keep all our communities safe.
The role will entail national responsibility and as such the role holder will need to work flexible hours and be required to undertake UK travel. As this business area grows, the role may involve line management responsibility.
Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo Management Vetting and Development Vetting, if applicable, before taking up the post. Please be aware the Police Corporate Vetting Unit will undertake security vetting on successful candidates, their family and others that live at their home address, which will include financial checks. Due to the sensitive nature of these checks, we are not able to supply feedback should clearance be declined.
This post is designated a ‘reserved post’ under the Civil Service Nationality Rules and is open only to UK Nationals. If you hold dual nationality, one component of which is British, you may also be considered. However, if successful, you may be asked to relinquish your non‐British nationality (and any entitlement you may have to a foreign nationality) as a condition of your confirmation of appointment with ECTIU. One of your parents should also be British or have substantial ties to the UK. In the latter instance; substantial ties means that your parent is a citizen of a British Overseas Territory, a Commonwealth citizen, US citizen, EEA citizen, British national or citizen overseas, and they would need to have demonstrable connections with the UK by way of family history or have been resident here for a substantial period of time.
If you’re already married to, or cohabiting with, a person who isn’t a British citizen, you may still be eligible for employment at the discretion of the department. You should note however, that marriage to, or cohabitation with, a person who isn’t a British citizen after appointment may, in some circumstances, result in the withdrawal of security clearance and subsequent transfer to another department, or (if this is not possible or the officer does not wish to transfer) dismissal. Each case will be considered on its merits, taking into account the ties between the person involved and the United Kingdom.
You will be expected to provide written evidence around the following competencies and the minimum entry requirements from the role profile:
- We take ownership
- We deliver, support and inspire
- We analyse critically
- We are innovative and open-minded.
Please note there is a 500 words limit for each competency.
