Summary
Join the Environment Agency’s National Environmental Crime Unit and help transform how we tackle environmental crime. We’re recruiting Intelligence Processing Officers to support our Intelligence Gateway function. You don’t need an enforcement or intelligence background as this is a key support role at the heart of a busy and growing department.
You’ll provide comprehensive administrative and intelligence support, including managing IT and record‑keeping systems, monitoring busy mailboxes, procuring goods and services, and supporting technical leads with routine tasks. You’ll also help strengthen intelligence‑led working by supervising incoming intelligence, supporting teams to submit high‑quality intelligence, improving data quality, creating entities and providing user feedback.
We are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share, please clearly include any information regarding your preferred working arrangements on your application.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training, and workplace adjustments will be available to support you.
