In this exciting role, you will ensure the effective gathering and development of intelligence from within HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and other associated establishments relating to national security issues and organised crime within the South East prisons estate.

You will ensure that all relevant intelligence in relation to counter terrorism, extremism, radicalisation and serious organised crime is shared between law enforcement agencies and other relevant services.

You will also develop and maintain effective relationships with ROCUs, Counter Terrorism Units and other agencies across the United Kingdom.

You will have completed the National OPT Prison Intelligence Officer Training course and National Prison Debriefing course, or be willing and able to undertake training. You will have excellent interpersonal/communication and problem-solving skills. You will have the ability to work under pressure and effective organisational/time management skills.

SERPIT 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. For this reason a full UK Driving Licence is essential.
