Do you thrive in fast-paced, high-profile environments with exposure to senior decision-makers?
Would you like to play a pivotal role in national transport security and emergency response such as floods, terrorism and geopolitical tensions?
If so, then we would love for you to apply!
This role sits in DfT’s Operations Team which manages the Department’s response to civil contingency & security issues impacting the transport sector. The Operations Team sits within the Transport Security Operations Centre (TSOC).
You will be a core part of the Operations team within the wider division in the Department responsible for leading and co-ordinating whole-of-department response activity.
You will be required to take part in emergency responses dealing with high pressure situations that emerge suddenly. As this job responds to the unexpected, there will be times when you are required outside of normal work hours.

The post holder will provide critical support across all aspects of the division’s work, covering counter terrorism and civil contingencies.
Great line management is important to us as an organisation, and we will equip and support line managers to develop the skills set out in the Civil Service Line Management Standards. We aim to empower line managers to create teams where people can flourish and deliver excellent outcomes for the public.
