Full Time
Secondment/Fixed Term Contract

The Tackling Organised Exploitation Programme (TOEX) has been commissioned to contribute to a whole systems approach to improve the response to the ‘exploitation of the vulnerable’ within the current National Strategic Assessment of Serious and Organised Crime, developing a model that supports an enhanced intelligence picture to inform activity; operational tasking and coordination; and capability development.

The TOEX researcher will undertake qualitative and quantitative research to support intelligence and analytical products. During the pilot, this will be a singular resource within the ROCU which will be tasked remotely by the central TOEX team. This is an interesting opening for candidates who consider themselves as self-starters with an enthusiasm for research, which they would like to develop further into the disciplines of intelligence or data analysis.

This role will be based within the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU). These units form a critical part of the national policing network, provide a range of specialist policing capabilities to forces which help them to tackle serious and organised crime effectively. These capabilities include undercover policing, specialist surveillance, and cyber-crime investigation.

ROCUs investigate and disrupt organised crime groups operating across police force boundaries, additionally they act as an important point of connection between police forces and the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Grant funded to 31 March 2022, the TOEX vacancies represent a unique opportunity to join a cutting-edge programme which will deliver a first of its kind intelligence and performance framework. Each successful candidate will have a personal development plan which will build on their current knowledge and skills – and provide a clear learning pathway to realise their full potential.

Coming on-board during our pilot year means that you will be part of a team supporting brand new ways of working – be integral to ground breaking collaborations - and contribute to the disruption of organised networks built upon exploitation.

We are looking for a candidate with excellent communication and time management skills. Some experience within the discipline of research, not necessarily gained within Policing and a basic understanding of various analytical products are beneficial to the role.  

 

SEROCU are committed to becoming the most diverse team in the South East. We encourage interest and applications from candidates of all backgrounds and particularly welcome applications from female and BAME (black, Asian and minority ethic) candidates to enable us to truly reflect the communities we serve.

Due to the role requirements, it is essential that the post holder be prepared to be security cleared to enhanced level. Furthermore, due to the nature and sensitivity of work carried out we require that candidates not only hold this vetting level but that they also undertake additional security clearances which include additional nationality checks. This post is therefore restricted to UK nationals. This is line with government requirements, supported by Cabinet Office policy and Section 82(2) to (4) of the Police Reform Act (2002), and is for the purpose of safeguarding national security, to ensure that any potential vulnerabilities are identified at an early stage.
