Working for SEROCU is a job like no other. You will be working with teams which cover an extensive patch stretching over four police forces and tackle the most serious crime. Despite the scale of the geography there is a real one-team ethos and plenty of opportunity for development within the unit.

In this role you will be responsible for the day to day running of the confidential unit, regional intelligence unit and GAIN capability within the ROCU, managing and coordinating these units against intelligence collection and both adopted and developing operations. You will use your subject matter expertise to coordinate the use of the covert and intelligence assets under your command to collect intelligence and enhance operations tasked at both force and regional level against regional Organised Crime Groups and national threats.

The successful applicant will be able to evidence excellent communications skills and effective partnership working experience at a tactical and strategic level. You will be able to demonstrate flexibility, motivation and commitment, with strong leadership skills and the proven ability to set high ethical standards and maintain discipline.

SEROCU 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 SC MV Vetting level, however candidates should also be willing to be vetted to a Developed Vetting (DV) 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.

This vacancy is also open as a police officer opportunity (Job Ref: 17072).
