ERSOU - CTP - PC/DC- OIMU Assessor - PURSUE in Stevenage

A role has arisen within the CTP EASTERN Operational Intelligence Management Team (OIMU), a small team based at a covert location within Hertfordshire, receiving and assessing intelligence product from internal and external partners relating to CTP Operations. You will use Police and Law Enforcement systems to conduct detailed and thorough research. You will thrive on identifying links and associations between disparate pieces of intelligence and work with a range of partners to combat the threat of terrorism not only across the Eastern Region but internationally.

Your responsibilities include:

• Receiving and assessing intelligence for Threat/Harm/Risk and CT relevance.
• Identifying opportunities where intelligence can be further developed, leveraging existing relationships or establishing new ones.
• Making appropriate safeguarding referrals to protect vulnerable individuals.
• Working well within a small, established team while also demonstrating the ability to work independently and unsupervised when required.
• Maintaining confident and accurate communication skills at all levels when working under pressure.
• Ensuring accuracy and attention to detail in all aspects of the role due to the critical nature of CTP EASTERN’s work.

The role offers a good work/life balance with core working hours Monday to Friday 0800 to 1600. The position is desk‑based due to the secure nature of the work, yet requires flexibility regarding working location and hours due to the unpredictable nature of Counter Terrorism Policing.
