The Operational Security (Op Sec) function sits within Home Office Intelligence providing specialist independent advice and support to teams within covert disciplines and overt areas of Immigration and Borders business.
The Operational Security Advisor (OpSy) must be experienced in one or more covert discipline and is required to be a credible source of information and advice in the operational and covert arena. Whilst specific training is provided through the College of Policing the College training requires candidates to have specific experience and knowledge in the covert arena as a pre-requisite which is due to the main functions of an OpSy being largely focused in the covert world.
OpSy functions include:
- Investigation of suspected legislative breaches on behalf of the HO Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) in respect of all covert powers, including RIPA (2000), Police Act (1997) and the Investigatory Powers Act (2016).
- Review of operational compromise, identifying issues and providing advice and recommendations to improve policy and operational practice.
- To be an effective link with anti-corruption capabilities to ensure appropriate risk mitigation is in place to counter the risk of corruption and insider threats.
- Ensuring understanding and the appropriate application of the ‘Neither Confirm Nor Deny’ principles to protect covert methodology and equipment and techniques are applied.
- Provision of guidance and advice to staff and managers to ensure that assets, capabilities, intellectual property and organisational reputation are appropriately protected.
- To be a source of independent specialist advice at tactical coordinating group (TCG) and covert planning meetings, which necessitates experience in both the investigative and covert arena.
As an Operational Security Advisor you will work with the current Home Office Intelligence (HOI) OpSy’s to provide advice and support to operational colleagues across Immigration enforcement and Border Force on a variety of operational security related matters and issues. The role is varied and the breadth of issues, events, and occurrences that the OpSy is involved with is diverse, meaning whilst some functions are clearly defined, the variety of reactive issues means no two days are the same.
Op-Sec is split in terms of the provision of proactive assurance and inspection duties for accredited covert teams, and reactive work, which might include responding to an operational compromise, a legislative breach or a physical security incident or threat. Given the breadth and nature of work and the responsibilities of the department, the OpSy must be confident in their knowledge and understanding of investigatory process and powers, and must have experience of covert and sensitive tactics and legislation and knowledge of IE/BF business areas.
Please note: Once in post you will be expected to achieve IPP accreditation as an Senior Intelligence Manager within a reasonable time-frame (if you are not already accredited).
Please also note: Due to nature of the role this can only be conducted on a Full-Time basis.
