We support with expertise applied by the talent across our business in combination with technology, insight and analytics to keep our clients ahead of change, sharper than competitors and more efficient than ever – and we always need new talent to help us achieve our goals.

We are currently recruiting for interesting and exciting positions at the Home Office. The Home Office keeps the UK secure and prosperous; protects its citizens, residents and visitors and their property; and upholds rights, liberties and the rule of law.

Overview:

The Child Abuse Image Database (CAID) Programme is expanding its team to deliver the CAID Transformation Programme, which will increase the number of products it offers, as well as delivering an updated national platform to support new capabilities for use by UK Law Enforcement.  CAID provides UK Law Enforcement (UKLE) with a capability to significantly improve the outcome of investigations involving indecent images of children (IIoC).

The CAID Business Analyst (Technical) plays a key role in structuring the projects and helps align the programme in terms of its business governance structure, business processes, business change and business information. This person aligns CAID goals and objectives with decisions regarding products and services, partners, suppliers, organisational capabilities and key business and IT initiatives.

The primary focus is the business motivations, business operations and business analysis frameworks and related networks that link these aspects of the Projects and other initiatives within the Programme together. The Business Analyst (Technical) works to develop an integrated view using a repeatable approach, cohesive framework, and available industry standard techniques.

The CAID Business Analyst (Technical) supports project managers and CAID workstream leads as they leverage business architecture artefacts to create their project plans and embed delivery and performance metrics against business objectives. Finally, the Business Analyst (Technical) may provide direct input into the achievement of key goals, planning and execution of various business scenarios, and delivery of bottom-line business value.

The CAID Business Analyst (Technical) will not need to view the imagery stored on CAID, nor do any of the programme team - but the subject matter can be very distressing. As well as the standard welfare support offered by the Home Office to employees, all CAID team members are provided with additional support which includes an annual psychological screening session.
