Please note, the job description embedded is used as a framework to review and manage performance when an individual is in post, and therefore not all skills and experience are required from the outset.

This post requires access to the most sensitive intelligence material on a daily basis. Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo National Security Vetting (NSV) Security Check (enhanced)(SC(e)) level before taking up the post; with a willingness to undergo Developed Vetting (DV) once in post, if required. This post requires British nationality (some dual nationals may be ineligible) and an Enhanced Security Check (eSC). As the post holder will have access to very sensitive information, there are limitations on travelling to a small number of countries and we will undertake additional security checks as part of the recruitment process. Applications from candidates with close connections to certain countries may take considerably longer to process, or in some cases result in a withdrawal of an offer of employment. Further details will be provided at the conditional offer stage.

Applicants should also be aware of the need to sign a confidentiality agreement on taking up the post.

Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) continues to prioritize an inclusive and supportive working environment and culture, where all of our people feel a strong sense of belonging and are empowered to reach their full potential. CTP keeps the nation and everyone in it safe from all manner of threats and as those threats evolve, so do we - that’s why Inclusion, Diversity and Equality (IDE) is the key to supporting our greatest asset, our people.

Our people protect our national security across the UK. In order to continue to deliver against our organizational priorities, we collectively seek to ensure that all colleagues feel respected, supported and valued to fully participate in the delivery of our mission - "working to keep people safe from Terrorism". IDE is at the heart of our approach to make the composition of Counter Terrorism Policing more representative of the communities we serve.
