Intelligence Researcher

 

Description:

Roles in JCTPPH will also require additional top up vetting.

Overview of the job

  • The Researcher will support the Intelligence Analysts in developing the intelligence picture on a range of threats and risks impacting on their geographic or thematic area. Intelligence assessments will look across prison and probation contexts at 'high priority' offenders, offending groups and operational security vulnerabilities in their area.
  • The post holder will obtain, evaluate, prepare and supply information for the Intelligence Analysts, in line with priorities for the Intelligence Unit. They will also disseminate the intelligence product in compliance with relevant legislation, codes of practice, standards, procedures and guidelines.
  • The post holder will report to an Intelligence Analyst in the Units. The post is a flexible resource within the function and the post holder may be asked to undertake work for another Unit to respond to changes in priorities.
  • This post is based in a regional Hub of the Security, Order and Counter Terrorism Directorate. Whilst the post has a 'base', occasional travel to HMPPS headquarters, prison establishments, prison regional offices and National Probation Service Division offices as well as law enforcement partners' offices may be required.

Summary

  • This is a key support role in the intelligence analytical function. The post holder will be expected to provide high quality intelligence research to the Intelligence Analysts.
  • The post holder will need to obtain and work with large volumes of information in both written and numeric form, some of which will be held in bespoke databases. They should be confident in organising information, using software where appropriate to do this. They will also require strong numerical and written skills and an eye for detail so that information is presented accurately.
  • The post holder will need to build productive relationships with a range of internal and external partners in order to obtain relevant information when it is needed and manage and respond to expectations of intelligence customers.
  • The post holder will also require strong administrative skills and the ability to manage and prioritise their own workload.
  • The post has no operational requirement. However an understanding of prisons, probation and/or law enforcement operating environment would be an advantage.
  • The post holder must act with the highest levels of personal and professional integrity and champion these qualities in others. They must be vetted to Security Check (SC) standards.
