An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) within the Research and Analysis team as an Intelligence Development Officer (IDO).
The Research and Analysis Team produces high quality research and analytical products to support all areas of CTPSE business.
The Intelligence Development Officer role is an exciting, varied and challenging position, where you will produce a wide range of high quality research products for many different customers, both internal and external.
We are looking for an outgoing, proactive and flexible candidate with a can-do attitude. At times, this role requires working unsocial hours, staying late and overcoming unexpected challenges to get the job done. In return, you will be working in an incredibly unique and diverse environment contributing to the fight against terrorism in the UK.
The ideal candidate will be a good team player with relevant experience in an intelligence environment. As an IDO, you will be required to:
1. Research using a range of systems including those available as open source.
2. Collate and assess intelligence and present your findings in intelligence products, summarising clearly, concisely, and accurately.
3. Identify intelligence gaps and make recommendations that are specific, achievable, and relevant.
4. Conduct research compliant with legislation, for example, IPA.
5. Support live operational activity.
6. Liaise with internal and external colleagues, including Senior Investigating Officers, to progress investigations into CT subjects of interest.
7. Work in partnership with teams throughout CT Policing and the wider intelligence community.
8. Support and respond to spontaneous/critical/major incidents and/or events within the remit of Policing.
Although the working location is fixed, there is often a requirement to travel across the South East Region. You will need to demonstrate flexibility regarding working hours in line with operational demand, which may occasionally require working away from home. A full UK Driving Licence is essential for the role.
Once fully trained, this IDO role operates across a shift pattern between 08:00 - 19:00, including working one weekend in five, which attracts a shift allowance in addition to the base salary. Working hours and arrangements can be discussed at interview.
Due to the nature of our work, security is of paramount importance, and therefore it will be necessary to pass and maintain vetting level DV, along with a number of enhanced security checks. To achieve this, you must be a British National and have resided in the UK for the past ten years. Exemptions may apply for overseas or other diplomatic service (with HM Government) and studying abroad.
