The post holder will be primarily responsible for planning, conducting and coordinating often complex and protracted financial investigations in relation to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) or other legislation, in respect of preparation of confiscation, restraint and Civil Recovery in Summary Proceedings (CRiSP).
