We are looking for a Security Officer to join our Protect and Prepare team, part of Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTP SE). You will provide overall security/guarding capability to protect the assets and staff at the CTP SE site, complying with complex security procedures whilst maintaining a good level of customer service.

You will ensure all security related systems and equipment are maintained, liaising with appropriate parties to seek resolution to any issues or failure. You will be required to provide resilience for reception in times of high demand and periods of absence.

The successful applicant will be confident and possess effective communication skills including the ability to be discreet, tactful, diplomatic and sensitive. You must be able to work in a pressurised environment and have excellent time management skills with flexibility to meet demand. You will also have proven IT skills with the ability to operate and learn new systems.

As the role will require shift work, you must have a flexible approach to working hours to suit the requirements of the role and be prepared to work overtime as required. The shifts will cover a 24/7 operation.

This role is part of a national, regional and local network and as a result you will be required to travel for business purposes. This may include travel across the UK and is not limited to the south east. You will be asked to demonstrate flexibility regarding working hours in line with operational demand and occasionally this may require working away from home. You must be prepared to be security cleared to an enhanced level.

For the purposes of safeguarding national security, applicants who do not hold or acquire the appropriate security clearances (which may include STRAP) and meet the nationality requirements cannot be offered the post. This post is therefore restricted to UK nationals. As such, in line with Cabinet Office Policy, supported by Section 82(2) to (4) of the Police Reform Act (2002), applicants who do not hold or acquire Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV) clearance and meet the nationality requirements cannot be offered the post.

For further information please email RecruitmentSE@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk or telephone 01865 555839 quoting 15230. The closing date is 23:55hrs on Tuesday 22 January 2019.
