The Action Fraud Team of the Central Fraud Unit receive, assess, develop and allocate all fraud and cybercrime referrals arriving in TVP. In this exciting role, you will contribute towards the development and management of investigative strategies in a variety of specialist fields.
As part of this role, you will be allocating investigations to the most appropriate resource and therefore effective liaison and communication skills are required. You should also have a good working knowledge of the Fraud Act, Proceeds of Crime Act and other legislation pertaining to economic crime issues. The ability to demonstrate flexibility in the role and a willingness to work anywhere in Thames Valley when the need arises, is essential. A proven competence in all aspects of the investigative process is required.
Specialist knowledge or qualifications in such fields are not an absolute requirement of the post, however, a clear understanding of the national Fraud agenda and Action Fraud processes are highly desirable. Knowledge and awareness of business environments is also desirable as is experience in investigating Fraud, Financial and Cybercrime offences.
Along with all other posts in the Crime, Intelligence and Specialist Operations departments this role may require an enhanced level of vetting.
The base location for these roles will either be Loddon Valley or Kidlington, which will be agreed at interview.
You must have capability to travel to different locations across the Force and undertake assignments in a timely manner. However the majority of the role can be completed at home with the expectation that some working hours are office based. Public transport may not be available or suitable. For this reason a full UK driving licence is considered essential.
