About the job

Summary

The Homeland Security Group (HSG) leads for the Home Office on Counter Terrorism and National Security issues. HSG supports the Home Secretary and other Ministers in the development and implementation of CONTEST, the UK’s counter terrorism strategy.

Roles within HSG are interesting and high profile and impact daily on the safety and security of the UK. HSG staff have played a key role in the Government’s response to the 2017 attacks in Manchester and London, and the incidents in 2018 in Salisbury and Amesbury.

As set out in the Integrated Review, Economic Crime underpins serious and organised crime, fuels terrorism and can be used by malign actors to threaten national security. To counter these threats, the Economic Crime Directorate leads the delivery of the Government’s landmark public-private Economic Crime Plan.

An opportunity has arisen to join the Economic Crime Secretariat team.

Job description

Economic Crime Directorate are looking for a high performing individual to fill a current vacancy within the Economic Crime Secretariat team.

EC Secretariat

This role is situated within the Economic Crime Secretariat. The team plays a critical role ensuring delivery of the commitments set out in the Economic Crime Plan, and reports regularly to senior officials and Ministers through a number of delivery Boards. The HEO will take a leading role in the production of briefing and papers to support the governance of this fast paced and challenging policy area. As the HEO, you would be expected to take charge of working across Whitehall and the private sector to draft high quality written and oral products for senior figures to support critical boards and meetings, working with the SEO to understand the strategic priorities and objectives and ensuring that we are challenging stakeholders to deliver on their commitments, and provide assurance to our Ministers..

This position will require significant engagement not only with internal and cross Government colleagues, but also senior figures from industry. Meetings often include Ministers, senior civil servants and private sector leadership.

Alongside this role, the successful candidate will also play an important role in developing the next iteration of the Economic Crime Plan.

This role is also open to high performing EOs on promotion. Post holders will have the option to work from both Home Office estate, and Angel Court in London.

The Home Office is committed to being an inclusive employer with a diverse and representative workforce at all levels. We encourage applications from people from the widest possible diversity of backgrounds, cultures and experiences.

We would particularly welcome applications from people who are currently under-represented within the Home Office at this grade, specifically Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, and people with a disability.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be motivated, independent, flexible and adaptable in their approach to work. It is essential that the post holder can work at a fast pace and can prioritise their work effectively.

They will also need to be an excellent communicator, both verbal and written, and be comfortable engaging with senior management, and across government, law enforcement and the private sector.

This role is not suitable for part time working because it is a particularly fast-paced and unpredictable role, often dealing with last minute commissions from seniors and Minsters which need actioning quickly.

Essential Criteria:

  • Good interpersonal and influencing skills, able to build relationships with a range of key stakeholders and engage collaboratively across Government as well as with private sector.

  • Able to develop evidenced proposals and/or Senior briefing documentation, often at pace, and deliver them to a high standard.

  • Able to focus on multiple work streams and be confident in deputising for the SEO where required.

  • A track record of having delivered effectively under pressure when faced with multiple priorities and challenging deadlines.

  • Strong written and oral communication skills.

Desirable Criteria:

  • Previous experience of working in a policy role.

  • Previous legislation and/or consultation experience.

  • Experience working with the financial sector.

  • Communicating and Influencing
  • Making Effective Decisions
  • Delivering at Pace
  • Seeing the Big Picture
