The Role
An exciting and challenging vacancy has arisen for a full-time police staff role on the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit - Counter Terrorism Policing (ERSOU CTP) Financial Investigations Team at a covert location in Hertfordshire.
This is an opportunity for a highly motivated person looking to develop their career and work within the Counter Terrorism Policing environment. You will be part of a small team undertaking proactive and reactive Counter Terrorism financial investigations, working towards establishing funding or other links to Terrorist and Extremist Organisations. The post holder will provide assistance to Regional and National CTP teams and partner agencies by developing intelligence, investigations and disruptions in support of Counter Terrorist and Extremist issues within the Eastern Region.

It is desirable that applicants are accredited by the National Crime Agency (NCA) as a Financial Intelligence Officer or Financial Investigator under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Vetting:
Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo Management Vetting (5 years residency criteria) and Security Clearance (5 years residency criteria) or Development Vetting, if applicable, before taking up the post. Please be aware the Police Corporate Vetting Unit will undertake security vetting on successful candidates, their family and others that live at their home address, which will include financial checks. Due to the sensitive nature of these checks, we are not able to supply feedback should clearance be declined.
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 CTP. When applying please click Yes to the British Nationality Question in order 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 of time.
If you’re already married to, or cohabiting with, a person who isn’t 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 isn’t 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.
