Summary
If you have an open and enquiring mind, love problem-solving and decision-making, based on rules, precedent, and in-depth analysis, and if you can thrive in a high-pressure environment, adapting to changing priorities and demands… this could be the role you’re looking for.
This role requires a keen attention to detail, and you'll draw on your tenacity, resilience, and flexibility. You’ll need to exercise sound judgement and discretion, along with the ability to understand and apply legislation, policy, and procedure.

Intelligence Development Team
You will be joining the Intelligence Development team, which is part of the Law Enforcement arm of HMRC. We pursue criminals, fraudsters and smugglers who attack the UK Exchequer, and build intelligence packages for criminal prosecutions. We also work with our civil colleagues to use all the tools at HMRC’s disposal to prevent and detect serious organised crime.
You can look forward to receiving our highly regarded 12-month training programme, the support of a mentor, and excellent potential for career development.
This role includes working hours above and beyond a normal working pattern, including short notice changes, some evening/weekend/bank holiday work and being on-call (1 week in 4, pre-rostered). You will be financially compensated for this flexibility once trained with £10,100 in addition to your salary - see Flexibility Payment details in the Benefits section.
Training
We recruit candidates based on aptitude, and will provide full training to give you the skills and experience needed to succeed.
Successful candidates will need to undertake a training period of approximately 12-months. This will include online and on-the-job learning, a 3-week residential course and a 2-day Officer Safety Training course. The Officer Safety Training includes physical activity and requires an appropriate level of fitness. You must be able to take part in, for example, jogging, stretching and movement exercises, self-defence and restraint techniques.
Throughout the 12-months you will have a Practical Training Officer to guide you through the process and will receive support from your management team and colleagues.
Successful completion of all training is vital for the role. We provide candidates with as much support as possible but those who do not complete - and pass - all required training cannot remain in the role and may need to be moved to an alternative role within HMRC. If that is not possible, your employment may be terminated.
Training will continue after the initial 12-month period and throughout your career. Other specialist training may also be required, dependent on the team you are placed in and the changing nature of surveillance work.
Reserve Lists
A reserve list may be created if suitable candidates are identified and will last for a period of 12 months. After interview, a single merit list will be created and you will only be considered for posts in locations you have expressed a preference for. Appointments will be made in strict merit order in line with the set number of roles in each location.
