HMPPS Band 5
This job advert is for several Intelligence Analyst roles. The successful candidates will take up a position in a variety of specialist teams focussing on: Strategic, High Security, Serious Organised Crime, Counter Corruption, Regional or Financial intelligence. Successful candidates will be asked for their preference of which team they would like to be part of, and this will be considered when allocating candidates to posts. Some of these roles will require additional training over and above the standard intelligence analyst training e.g. Financial Analysts will require Financial Investigation training.
Overview of the job
The post holder(s) will work in the National Intelligence Unit at HQ or one of the 5 Regional Intelligence Units. The post hold will be responsible for analysis in their respective areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, Counter Terrorism, Counter Corruption, Financial Intelligence, Sensitive Intelligence, Strategic Intelligence or Crime including Organised Crime across the relevant region or nationally in HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). All these intelligence units form part of the National Intelligence Unit.
Intelligence Analyst(s) will play a critical role in developing the intelligence picture on a range of threats impacting on their geographic or thematic area, drawing on existing intelligence products as well as developing their own analysis.
The post holder will be responsible for providing strategic and tactical intelligence analysis and products which will look across prison and probation contexts at ‘high priority’ offenders, offending groups and operational security vulnerabilities in their area.
The post holder will report directly to the band 7 Senior Intelligence Analysts in the respective Unit. The post is a flexible resource within the function and the post holder may be asked to undertake work for another Unit to respond to changes in priorities.
The post holder may have direct line management and professional development of the band 3 intelligence researchers.
These posts may be based either in HQ (102 Petty France, London) or in one of the five Regional Hubs, exact details will be specified in the advert. Regular travel is likely and will include prison establishments, prison Group Directors’ offices and Probation Service Division offices as well as law enforcement partners’ offices. In addition, there is likely to be occasional travel throughout England and Wales for national matters. Remote/Home working will be an option though specifics will be role dependent.
A background in analytical work (any discipline) would be an advantage but is not essential; training in intelligence analysis will be provided if required. Furthermore, some roles will require the post holder to partake in specialist training and accreditation which will be provided.
Summary
This is an exciting opportunity to take up a key role supporting the ongoing development of intelligence analysis as a professional service to HMPPS.
The post holder will be expected to develop and deliver a high quality intelligence analytical service to HMPPS and law enforcement partners; therefore, they will require a strong grasp of intelligence and data analytical techniques, research skills,
information handling requirements, as well as understand and anticipate information and intelligence requirements from a range of partners.
The post holder will also require strong communication skills to engage with a wide range of consumers of intelligence at all levels within HMPPS, with law enforcement partners, the National Crime Agency and, for some roles, the Security Services.
The post has no operational requirement. However, an understanding of prisons, probation and/or law enforcement operating environment would be an advantage.
The postholder must act with the highest levels of personal and professional integrity and champion these qualities in others. They must be vetted to Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV) depending on the role. It is likely that roles in the Sensitive Intelligence Unit will require DV, but this is subject to change.
