An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Ports Liaison Officer to work within the Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTP SE) based at Gatwick Airport. You will build and maintain relationships across the local Ports community and to enable the smooth operation of day-to-day work alongside partners and other organisations at local, regional and national level.

You will represent CT Border Policing at relevant partnership and tactical meetings, providing briefings and acting as point of contact for partners; collating relevant information and delivering back to CT Border management team. You will provide co-ordination for dissemination of key CT messaging and other supporting information to partners within the Ports community, in relation to CT Priorities, Safeguarding, and Insider Threat by maintaining a network of contacts.

The successful applicant will have a good standard of education or equivalent experience. You will have proven experience working in a security conscious environment with secret and confidential material. You will also have excellent communication/interpersonal skills and the ability to identify risks and problem solve.

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 appropriate security clearance and meet the nationality requirements cannot be offered the post. This post is therefore restricted to UK nationals. This is a national requirement.
