This is an exciting and rare opportunity for an Intelligence Analyst to join our Intelligence team within the Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC).
The JMSC is the UK Government’s centre of excellence for maritime security. Its role is to enhance awareness and understanding of maritime security threats, and to enable effective cross‑government coordination to deliver a whole‑system response to mitigate risk.
Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) provides a dedicated intelligence capability within the JMSC, spanning both the National Maritime Information Centre and JMSC Operations strands. The JMSC intelligence team acts as a single point of entry for all maritime information and intelligence requests from the Counter Terrorism Policing network, intelligence agency partners, and international stakeholders.
This role is responsible for delivering high‑quality tactical and strategic intelligence analysis to inform, advise and support decision‑makers and Senior Police Officers, helping to assess and mitigate threat, risk and harm.
Please note that criteria 2 and 8 listed under the essential requirements in the job description are not mandatory for this role. Applicants are therefore not expected to possess these skills or qualifications at this stage. Training will be provided should this become necessary in the future.
You will be asked to demonstrate flexibility regarding working hours in line with operational demand and occasionally this may require working away from home. For this reason a full UK Driving Licence is essential to the role. You will also be required to perform on-call arrangements for immediate response as required across the South East region
Due to the nature of our work, security is of paramount importance to us and therefore it will be necessary to pass and maintain vetting level DV together with a number of enhanced security checks. In order to achieve this, you must be a British National and have resided in the UK for the past ten years . Exemptions may apply for overseas or other diplomatic service (with HM Government), and studying abroad. Please be aware that if successful there are limitations on travelling to a small number of countries once in post
You can find more information about security vetting here.
