An opportunity for a Covert Human Intelligence Source Handler has arisen within ERSOU CTP Dedicated Source Unit.
The unit is responsible for protecting the public from Terrorism and other Extremist activity and has a wide scope of duties in this arena.
The role of the CHIS Handler within the unit will be primarily managing CHIS assets to obtain intelligence to assist in a range of CT&DE investigations. Other duties include completing intelligence reports, reviews and risk assessments; liaising with relevant organisations, departments and individuals; recruiting new intelligence sources and providing specialist knowledge as required. (This list is not exhaustive.)
The successful candidate will be have recent experience of CHIS handling and have knowledge and experience of RIPA. Further information on the requisite personal qualities and technical requirements can be found on the role profile.
Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo Development Vetting, and will need to be vetted to SC 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 CTP. 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 are innovative and open-minded
- We take ownership
- We deliver, support and inspire
- We analyse critically
Please note there is a 500 words limit for each competency.
If you are shortlisted for interview you will be expected to evidence against all personal qualities, and the entry requirements, stipulated in the role profile.
