Contract type – Full Time, Permanent
Rank – Inspector
Information about the role
The Protect and Prepare department (P&P) forms 50% of the national Contest strategy and is responsible for supporting our regional forces to ensure their communities benefit from the most appropriate protective security to reduce the opportunity for a terrorist attack. Additionally, under the Prepare, we ensure our communities and partner agencies are in an effective state of preparedness, to mitigate the impact of any terrorist attack and facilitate recovery from such an incident.
This role requires Monday to Friday working, however, due to the nature of the role you will need a degree of flexibility to enable the department to respond effectively to intelligence and developing situations. You will be required to be part of an on-call rota for P&P and a weekend duty supervisor rota.
Responsibilities
- Line management for Protect and Prepare supervisors and second line management for the teams (some based at off site locations).
- Second line management for CTPWM training and CATO functions.
- Providing written and verbal updates to SLT on workstreams.
- Delivering briefings to duty Supt and SLT on CT plans and revisions to them as and when they occur.
- Driving performance of this busy department, supporting your team of supervisors around effective prioritisation of work.
- Acting as support to DCI P&P on occasions where CTU stands up in response to high threat situations, effectively holding the position of P&P bronze.
- Attending relevant local and national meetings both remotely and in person, representing the department and on occasion, CTPWM as a whole.
- Leading the department on the response to emerging themes within counter terrorism policing.
- This is a demanding role, where effective multi tasking is essential. It is an interesting role, where every day is genuinely different. You will deal routinely with sensitive information and intelligence, both with our partners and internally.
