We welcome applications from substantive Constables for a Motorcyclist Surveillance Operative. This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to join our Surveillance team, part of Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTP SE).

You will undertake covert, mobile, technical and foot surveillance in order to obtain intelligence and evidence to assist an investigation or operation. You will undertake covert surveillance as authorised under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA), and Human Rights legislation. You will debrief covert surveillance operations on a daily basis, ensuring the evidential log is accurate. You will develop yourself and colleagues by constructive assessment of effectiveness on operations undertaken, identifying both positive and negative performance.

You will hold current Level One surveillance accreditation and current Advanced Car driver. Please refer to the Job Description (enclosed with the Job Advert) for further information in relation to the role, knowledge, skills and experience requirements.

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 Developed Vetting (DV).

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.

Thames Valley Police Officers must upload or submit the Recommendation for Appointment Form (enclosed with this job advert), to confirm your application has been endorsed. Applications should include your most recent PDR covering your last years’ performance or if no PDR, your current CPD record. Applications must be submitted by the closing date of 23:55hrs on Sunday 03 March 2019.

For further information please email RecruitmentSE@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk or telephone 01865 555839 quoting 15496
