ABOUT ERSOU

ERSOU celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone is valued and respected. We actively encourage applications from underrepresented or minority groups. ERSOU is a Disability Confident employer. Should you require any reasonable adjustments for your application process, please contact the HR Service Centre on 01438 757777. We also recognise the guaranteed interview scheme; this means that all candidates with a disability covered by the Equality Act 2010, who meet the minimum entry requirements for the role, will be invited to attend an interview. Where possible we will also consider flexible working requests.

The Regional Organised Crime Units (ROCUs) form a critical part of the National Policing Network, they have a range of specialist policing capabilities & operate across police force boundaries to disrupt organised crime. As such the ROCU are positioned to support their constituent forces & other law enforcement partners as well as leading on operations at the appropriate threshold. The ROCUs also act as an important point of connection between police forces and the NCA.

THE ROLE

The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) has a responsibility for targeting serious and organised crime across the region, and the delivery of specialist covert services to forces when required. The ROCU Intelligence Directorate is seeking an experienced and skilled analyst or assistant analyst who is looking to gain experience as an analyst to join the team. This presents a great opportunity to broaden existing skills, work in covert policing and to operate at the forefront of advancements in intelligence work.

Working within the Sensitive Intelligence Unit (SIU), and its operations team, you will work, as part of a team of analysts, in the response to SOC (Serious & Organised Crime). Working towards the SOC Strategy 2018 you will contribute to the resolution of formally tasked operations. Working with a multitude of intelligence sources you will help define the threat, risk, harm, opportunities, and response to these operations.

Ideally you will already have a proven track record of working with partners, supporting change, and delivering operational outcomes. You will use your existing skills, including communication data analysis, to interpret a range of overtly and covertly collected data, to make recommendations to operational teams. Dynamic and challenging this post injects analytical perspective from operational inception to evidential closure.

The successful candidate will also be required to support Crimes in Actions, typically kidnaps, led by the major crime units across the seven regional forces. This involves being part of an on-call requirement for 7 days in every 8 weeks, which includes one weekend.

A training pathway, including IPP (Intelligence Professionalisation Programme) accreditation, will be made available, with the necessary coaching options also provided. Should it be applicable, successful candidates will be required to resign from their current force to be employed by Bedfordshire Police with continuous service honoured.

TRAVEL COMMITMENT

You will be based in Hertfordshire with the requirement to travel across the region when required.

WORK LOCATION

ERSOU supports principles of agile working and encourages Staff from any force or location to apply for positions, regardless of where the main base is for the particular team. Whilst some functions will need to be delivered at designated / appropriate sites on specific occasions, many functions can be undertaken remotely, either at ERSOU, local Police Force building or from home. Your designated place of work can be negotiated. This will be considered as part of the recruitment process to ensure options are workable and can be discussed in advance with the contact point named in this advert. This role will be based in Hertfordshire.

VETTING

Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo Management Vetting (5 years residency criteria) and Security Clearance (5 years residency criteria) before taking up the post. This will involve vetting checks on successful candidates, their family and others that live at their home address, which will include financial enquiries.

This post is designated a ‘reserved post’ under the Civil Service Nationality Rules and is open only to UK Nationals. Anyone holding dual nationality can make an application but may be required to relinquish non-British nationality if successful (and any entitlement you may have to a foreign nationality) as a condition of your confirmation of appointment with ERSOU. When applying please click Yes to the British Nationality Question to progress to the next step of the application process. One of your parents should also be British or have substantial ties to the UK. In the latter instance, substantial ties mean that your parent is a citizen of a British Overseas Territory, a Commonwealth citizen, US citizen, EEA citizen, British national or citizen overseas, and they would need to have demonstrable connections with the UK by way of family history or have been resident here for a substantial period. 

If you are already married to, or cohabiting with, a person who is not a British citizen, you may still be eligible for employment at the discretion of the department. You should note however, that marriage to, or cohabitation with, a person who is not a British citizen after appointment may, in some circumstances, result in the withdrawal of security clearance and subsequent transfer to another department, or (if this is not possible or the officer does not wish to transfer) dismissal. Each case will be considered on its merits, considering the ties between the person involved and the United Kingdom.  Due to the sensitive nature of these checks, we are not able to supply feedback should clearance be declined.
