Joining the Programme Delivery Unit (PDU) within national Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) HQ, you’ll produce products, policy and guidance for CTP, government departments and the private sector. This material could prove crucial in the face of terrorist threats, providing advice on protective security and helping recipients stay prepared.

In many ways you’ll be the hub of your specialist team, coordinating administration and the delivery of these enhanced protective and preparedness projects. You’ll liaise with colleagues across NaCTSO, the regional CT network, government and industry, dealing with everything from budgets to training and events for partners.

You’ll also work with external organisations, organising quotes and purchase orders for any outside business services that are required. When projects in new areas come up, you’ll provide support by identifying the impact on NaCTSO and negotiating the requirements.    

Day to day, you’ll be taking minutes, responding to enquiries and performing a range of office duties. That calls for administrative experience along with great interpersonal skills. We’re also looking for knowledge of the Met Police and CTP, plus strong IT skills. Organised and team-focused, you’ll be prepared to travel when necessary.  

Besides the rewarding nature of the job itself, a competitive salary and a Civil Service pension, you'll also benefit from excellent career and professional development. If you’re looking to advance, we’ll support your progress.

Please note that this role is subject to security vetting.   

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; with a willingness to undergo Developed Vetting (DV) once in post, if required.
