Information about the Role

You would be part of a large team of Researchers and Analysts situated in the three NW hubs – GMP, Lancashire and Merseyside.  If successful, you would undertake a variety of written and visual products, both tactical and strategic in nature.  The team in which the successful candidate will be situated will not be known until the vetting process is complete.  Due to the sensitive systems and secure environments involved, this role is entirely office‑based and does not offer working from home.  The role works to the flexi policy and although based in Merseyside, you will be expected to travel around the NW region to attend meetings at multiple sites. Some Researcher training is provided by a national CT training team, therefore courses may be held in locations across the CT network and attendance would be expected.

  • To scan and evaluate intelligence/information from open and closed sources and research various databases (both internal and external) to enable the Intelligence Analysts to produce accurate intelligence assessments.
  • To produce accurate research summaries (written and verbal) utilising all available intelligence in order to provide direction and focus for the region.
  • Working to strict time deadlines to identify and research all available data in relation to problems, patterns, trends or threats, risk and harm both regionally, nationally and internationally.
  • To actively embrace problem solving policing with the aim of supporting intelligence/analytical products that will assist in the development of interventions that will fundamentally change the regional risk level.
  • To liaise with internal units, other regional forces and the national co-ordination centre to ensure the appropriate sharing of information and intelligence, in line with all relevant legislation and policy.
