Home Office Intelligence is a key business serving the Home Office Intelligence capability.
Home Office Intelligence has three Dedicated Source Units (DSUs) which are a standard feature for the lawful and effective management of Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS) in compliance with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA). The DSUs are supported by a Source Development Unit (SDU) which supports the DSUs, provides a vital role in managing Source status drift for the department, and is currently transforming to take a more active role in CHIS recruitment.
This is an exciting role which requires a robust personality and the ability to work to tight time frames, often without direct supervision.
The DSU Controller is responsible for the day-to-day management of one of the three DSU teams ensuring that highly sensitive intelligence is shared with internal and external partners in a timely and secure format.
The effective recruitment and management of CHIS generates high grade intelligence, maximises intervention opportunities and produces the strongest likelihood of meeting the department’s strategic objectives and fulfilling its intelligence requirement.
You will be responsible for the joint management and supervision of the handlers within a DSU and will be required to maintain general oversight of the CHIS and the intelligence product produced, in line with HOI business priorities.
You will be required to cover the duties of the Controller - Source Development Unit, during periods of leave, or absence.
Key responsibilities:
You will be responsible for:
- Demonstrating a good knowledge and understanding of RIPA, CHIS Codes of Practice, Criminal Procedure and Investigation Act 1996 (CPIA), Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA), Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and the principles of General Data Protection Regulations.
- Managing a team of handlers operating in line with the Home Office Intelligence CHIS Standard Operating Procedures.
- Maintaining the DSU’s security standards.
- Promoting a safe working environment through effective risk assessment of every CHIS deployment and dynamic risk assessment of every situation.
- Promoting a professional working environment by maintaining the highest standards of behaviour and integrity and adopt an intrusive style of supervision for source management.
- The release of intelligence material and adherence to the principles of the CPIA and all relevant legislation and agency policy.
- Actively promoting awareness of source related capability in the Home Office by seeking out, engaging and educating both new and existing internal and external partners.
- Promoting a professional working environment by maintaining the highest standards of behaviour and integrity.
- Actively contributing to the team effort improving performance, demonstrating innovation, working collaboratively and with respect.

Reasonable distance is deemed as 90 minutes for posts based within the London region. The role requires you to be On Call out of hours and able to respond to meetings out of office at short notice.
