- Complete priority actions and progress cases to conclusion or deportation as quickly as possible, following relevant policy and guidance.
- Develop and maintain current knowledge of deportation legislation, policy, process and case law.
- Actively participate in monthly performance and wellbeing check-ins, team meetings and group discussions, sharing best practice and lessons learned, taking responsibility to complete agreed action points.
- Ensure detention under immigration powers is lawful, adhering to relevant policy and guidance, while considering individual circumstances and vulnerabilities, and providing regular (no less than monthly) notification to the detained FNO.
- Ensure FNO’s released into the community are supervised in line with bail conditions with timely progression on their case to conclude or remove.
- Ensure data accuracy on all Home Office case working systems and databases.
- Be able to identify, articulate and escalate risk.
- Work collaboratively and collegiately with internal and external stakeholders.
- Draft complex pieces of work, including responses to litigation, correspondences, and requests for information.

The decisions you make will be well written, timely and able to stand up to judicial scrutiny. In practise, you will make use of excellent English language writing skills, an analytical mind, and have an eye for the finer details which enable you to draw key conclusions from many varied and detailed sources of evidence.
You will be a strong team player working collaboratively with your colleagues at all levels. You will participate in monthly performance and wellbeing check-ins, team meetings, and understand the FNORC’s priorities and how they fit into the wider Home Office vision.
