South East Region
Police Constable
N/A
Full Time
Permanent

We are recruiting for surveillance operatives (with a valid Advanced Driving/National Q1 Surveillance Qualification) to join our highly regarded Counter Terrorism (CT) Surveillance team.

You will undertake covert, mobile, technical and foot surveillance in order to obtain intelligence and evidence, undertaking covert surveillance as authorised under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 200 and Human Rights legislation. You will also debrief covert surveillance operations on a daily basis ensuring evidential logs are accurate.

The successful candidate will demonstrate;

  • Evidence of conducting both mobile and foot surveillance
  • Evidence of having completed surveillance logs to a national standard, as well as knowledge of disclosure
  • The ability to work under pressure and demonstrate flexibility within your role, with effective team working skills

CTP SE 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.

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.

Hampshire officers need to complete an AD277 alongside their application via Hampshire HR. All officers are required to complete the Recommendation for Appointment form enclosed with this advert.
