The South East Regional Prison Intelligence Team (SERPIT) is responsible for gathering and developing intelligence from HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and other associated establishments relating to national security issues and organised crime.

The prison hub is supported by a number of Prison Intelligence Officers (PIO’s) who are expected to work within the regional establishments. Working alongside HMPPS, they identify and exploit intelligence opportunities with a view of mitigating risk and disrupting offenders.

The successful candidates will develop and maintain effective working relationships with Counter Terrorism Units and other partner agencies, tasked with the investigation of matters affecting National Security across the South East Region. 

We are seeking to appoint candidates with excellent communication/interpersonal and problem solving skills. Due to the nature of the role, the successful candidate will have completed the National PAS Prison Intelligence Officer Training course and National Prison Debriefing course, or be willing and able to undertake training.

Due to the nature of the role, the post holder will have a full UK driving licence. 

At SERPIT, we are committed to better reflect the communities that we serve.  We encourage applications from our under represented communities including all ethnic or religious backgrounds, LGBTQ+, women and those with disabilities.

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.
