ERSOU - Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP)

ERSOU celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our Officers and Staff. Where possible we will also consider flexible working requests.

This vacancy suits a highly motivated and professional member of Police Staff or Detective Inspector (please see alternative advert) to be at the heart of the Pursue strand of Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP). The post is based in the Eastern Region where you will be responsible for the management of a team acquiring and delivering intelligence product from the Prison estate to law enforcement partners and local forces. The focus of the role is to counter the threat from Serious and Organised Crime and Terrorism.

The role will involve the management and monitoring of high harm offenders through a range of tactics including covert methods and the use of Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS). Your excellent inter personal skills will allow you to draw prison, law enforcement and other partners together toward common aims and objectives.

The role is based centrally within the Region, but the applicant will be required to travel as prison estate is spread widely across the Eastern Force areas. Applicants must hold a full UK driving licence.

The post holder will be expected to represent the region at national meetings, and there is an On Call requirement within a wider rota.

Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo Management Vetting (5 years residency criteria) and Security Clearance (5 years residency criteria) or 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. Anyone holding dual nationality can make an application but may be required to relinquish non-British nationality if successful (and any entitlement you may have to a foreign nationality) as a condition of your confirmation of appointment with CTP. When applying please click Yes to the British Nationality Question in order to progress to the next step of the application process. 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 are collaborative
- We deliver, support and inspire

Please note there is a 500 words limit for each competency.
