- Deliver training packages, including the Modern Slavery Investigator’s Course and Hydra package, to officers, partners and agencies, to enhance knowledge and capability in tackling modern slavery and human trafficking.
- Review and record disruption activity on APMIS to ensure compliance with Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and Modern Slavery strategies.
- Manage and oversee Slavery Trafficking Orders (STOs), coordinating reviews and proactive actions (e.g. prison liaison cell searches) to prevent further offending.
- Maintain specialist systems (e.g. Traffic Jam facial recognition software) to identify and safeguard potential victims advertised online, ensuring intelligence is escalated appropriately.

- Supervising and developing staff to deliver high-quality outcomes.
- Public speaking and training delivery.
- Assessing risk and ensuring safeguarding responses for vulnerable victims.
- Building and maintaining collaborative relationships with internal and external partners.
- Producing clear reports and summarising complex intelligence into accurate conclusions.

- Experience delivering structured training packages.
