Support the systems that secure the UK

These uniquely challenging times, call for new and innovative approaches to continue keeping the public and the country safe. As we move away from the old Crowded Places Model, to a new broader approach of Protecting Publicly Accessible Locations (PALs), the scope of our requirements has grown and transformed.

You’ll coordinate the admin functions that support delivery of protective security and CT Preparedness and act as the main point of contact for Finance, Resources and HR Leads, as well as for the Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) when it comes to processing new joiners. Day-to-day, this will see you producing national management information for quarterly reports, leading a small team and managing projects within new areas of business.

We’re looking for someone with a good knowledge of MPS, Regional and National organisation structures and roles within CT and external partner agencies. You must have experience of event planning, CT Protective Security and Preparedness as well. In addition, you’ll need exceptional communication, organisational and negotiation skills.
