Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) is a collaboration of the five South East police forces, and works with the UK Intelligence community to help protect the public and our national security.

To support this important work, CTPSE are setting up an ICT Team who will be involved in a range of technical tasks ranging from first-line user assistance to the discovery and development of new bespoke specialist solutions for trailblazing technologies in policing.  We are pleased to advertise the opportunity to form part of this new and exciting team.

The ICT Engineer role is to provide technical IT services to CTPSE staff across the region in a diverse range of functions.  The focus is in areas including network management, server maintenance, project work and general user support. The role holder will undertake regular regional site work, dynamically identifying and resolving faults across numerous bespoke IT platforms, working with the team to turn ideas into solutions, and building new systems and services.  This role will be key to ensuring that CTP has the technical infrastructure in place that it needs to deliver the vital service that it provides to the communities within the South East and across the United Kingdom.

The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of supporting and maintaining core infrastructure solutions including Windows Desktop and Server environments, and IP networking.  They will have experience in planning, designing, building and delivering these solutions to agreed specifications, and are comfortable working without direct supervision.

It is essential that they have the flexibility to travel across the South East region as need arises, and therefore a UK driving licence is essential. 

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.  In order to achieve this, you must be a British National and have resided in the UK for the past ten years. Exemptions apply for overseas or other diplomatic service (with HM Government), and studying abroad.  

You can find more information about security vetting here.
