THE FOLLOWING VACANCY HAS BEEN ADVERTISED EXTERNALLY

Counter Terrorism Security Advisor
Counter Terrorism Policing – North East (CTP NE)
Regional post covering West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire
One permanent full-time post

An excellent opportunity has arisen to play a key role in a unique team, supporting the work of Counter Terrorism Policing.

In this role you will:
• Promote good practice in protective security at the customer level.
• Support the Head of CTPNE in Counter Terrorism matters in line with the Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001, relevant legislation and respond to Nationally tasked initiatives from HM Government through the National Counter Terrorism Security Office.
• Deliver tactical and strategic advice to Local Authorities, promoting Protect and Prepare Activities to keep people safe.

A day in the life of a CTSA can vary, but one of our existing CTSAs describes it as follows: ‘Most days involve a visit to a site to meet with Security leads and relevant partner agencies. These may be regular visits to support ongoing activity, and we sometimes attend events to observe security in practice. I will then be required to produce reports documenting this work, and maintain accurate records of this. There is also a big emphasis on training and development, which may be achieved through formal courses, or through coming together with the team to share good practice and discuss challenges.

You will be required to have an in-depth knowledge of national and local issues impacting on the Police Services and particularly Counter Terrorism issues.

You must be prepared to work flexible hours to suit the CTP requirements and should be willing to work and travel within the UK wherever required as part of a Regional and National response.

• Generous annual leave allowance plus statutory Bank Holidays
