Information about the Role
The Strategy, Planning and Performance Pillar (SPP) is a diverse and multi-skilled team that sits in the heart of the CTP Headquarters. We ensure that Counter Terrorism Policing has effective strategies, policies and plans in place, along with the capabilities it needs to keep the UK and its interests protected.
Aligned to the government’s CONTEST and other National Security Strategies, we set out clear strategic direction, ensuring that CTP remains able to adapt to fast-evolving threat landscapes and keep the public safe. We deliver and assure this by establishing clear implementation plans with performance metrics that are monitored and delivered through effective governance structures.
The Strategy and Policy team is a hybrid of civil servants on secondment and expert police staff. The team is high-performing, ambitious and inclusive; it is the ideal place for existing or aspiring policy and strategy professionals to make a real difference, and develop their careers within an operational policing environment. This position provides a rare opportunity to gain experience of the national CT Policing Network and wider security partners.
In this role, you will gain unrivalled exposure to the national CTP Network, wider policing structures, and the partnerships that sit across UKIC and Whitehall. You’ll work directly with senior police officers and senior leaders across CTPHQ, government departments and security partners, helping to craft strategy, shape policy, and provide clear, authoritative advice on some of the most pressing issues in national security.
You will play a central role in strengthening CTP relationships across government departments, law enforcement and security agencies – including but not limited to Homeland Security Group, UKIC and frontline policing. You will be expected to understand the challenges, consequences and opportunities of proposed changes in Government policy and legislation, articulating a clear CTPHQ position that meets the operational requirements of frontline CT officers. You will ensure that the CTP view is heard and understood in relation to key issues affecting the CTP network, and influence and negotiate on behalf of CTP in respect of strategic challenges, priorities and delivery, doing so confidently with senior stakeholders.
