About the Role

We are seeking a Financial Investigator to join our Economic Crime Unit (ECU), a specialist team dedicated to tackling financial crime, money laundering, fraud, bribery, corruption and asset denial. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in identifying, investigating and recovering criminal assets, ensuring offenders are prevented from benefiting from criminal activity.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will lead and support complex financial investigations, using specialist powers under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) and related legislation to trace criminal assets, identify money laundering activity and develop opportunities for asset recovery. You will analyse financial information, banking records, company structures and other intelligence sources to build evidence, support prosecutions and pursue the recovery of criminal gains.

You will also prepare and present court applications, produce high-quality evidential reports and witness statements, provide expert advice to colleagues and partners, and represent the force in both criminal and civil proceedings.

Why This Role Matters

Financial investigation is a vital tool in disrupting organised crime and protecting communities. By identifying criminal wealth and supporting asset recovery, you will help prevent offenders from profiting from illegal activity while strengthening wider investigations into serious and complex crime. Your expertise will directly contribute to bringing offenders to justice and safeguarding the public.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will:

Hold, or be willing to obtain and maintain, relevant National Crime Agency (NCA) Financial Investigator accreditation.
Have experience analysing complex information and producing detailed reports to a high evidential standard.
Possess strong IT skills, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Teams and SharePoint.
