Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) plays a crucial role in keeping our country — and everyone in it — safe from ever-evolving threats. So when you join us, you’ll be applying your skills to something that really matters as you make sure that CTP officers and staff can overcome technological business problems.

As part of our team in Business Development, Strategy and Demand, you’ll ensure that CTP gets the technology it needs. That means you’ll be responsible on behalf of the CT Policing Community for developing User Requirements, scoping studies and Business Cases, specifically using the Government Green book 5 case model.

To ensure that our tech is the best it can be, you will work closely with our operational users to understand their business problem. You will identify and articulate this into the aforementioned document sets. Your role will entail liaising regularly with the wider HQ and technology pillar to ensure technological solutions have been analysed, are fit for purpose, and align to our strategy.

You will have first-hand knowledge of security accreditation processes and an understanding of the Cabinet Office Security Policy Framework (SPF). This will be vital in assessing options for technological solutions.

You will report regularly on your progress, be able to present your ‘case’ at governance boards and represent the BDSD team at corporate and national forums. 

You’ll bring us extensive Business Analysis experience covering the elicitation of user requirements through to developing the relevant document sets to formulate and justify a project ready for delivery.  You will be excellent at stakeholder management and be able to produce a range of high quality document sets in a manner suitable to the target audience. In addition, you’ll be adept at producing 'as-Is' and 'to-be' process models using Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) and undertaking Gap Analysis.

Experience in delivering IT-related business cases and knowledge of national and local governance processes will be essential.

In return, you can look forward to benefits including substantial annual leave, Civil Service pension arrangements, interest free season ticket loans, flexible working conditions and more.

Vetting  

This post requires access to the most sensitive intelligence material on a daily basis. Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo National Security Vetting (NSV) Security Check (enhanced) (SC(e)) level before taking up the post; and must undergo Developed Vetting (DV) once in post. If you do not obtain DV once in post you may be subject to a posting or redeployment process.

Additionally, this material is of particular sensitivity to the UK and its distribution must be restricted to UK nationals. In approved circumstances dual nationals (of which one element is British) may also be granted access. However, in the event that potential conflicts of interest cannot be managed the post holder will not be able to see the intelligence material and will not be able to perform their duties. For the purpose of safeguarding national security and in line with Cabinet Office Policy, supported by Section 82(2) to (4) of the Police Reform Act (2002), applicants who do not hold or acquire Security Check (enhanced) (SC(e)) or Developed Vetting (DV) clearance and meet the nationality requirements cannot be offered the post.
