* Reviewing incoming intelligence for opportunities to develop additional lines of enquiry, links to ongoing investigations or identification of new and emerging threats.
* Proactively seeking new intelligence through open source searching and interrogation of data and systems.
* Advising staff on how intelligence can help to prepare, prevent, protect and pursue against environmental crime.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and be available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident.

The team
You will be part of the National Environmental Crime Unit's Intelligence & Partnerships department. You will work alongside our other intelligence professionals, providing technical support not only to your team but to the wider enforcement community in Areas, and other National Services with the overarching aim of supporting an intelligence led approach to tackling crime. You will work closely with your peers to ensure our approach across the department is consistent.
Experience/skills Required
You must have experience of working in an intelligence role with strong technical skills – specifically:
* Experienced in handling sensitive information and recording and disseminating intelligence material.
* Competent in the use of IT and intelligence systems
* Able to produce high quality written intelligence products to clearly and accurately inform our decision making, utilising great communication skills.
* Self-motivated to achieve excellence in your work, have a keen eye for detail and driven to embed an intelligence led service for the prevention & disruption of Serious Organised Crime.
* An ability to develop and maintain strong relationships with our internal customers and external partner agencies, identifying intelligence gaps and interpreting and sharing intelligence and information to assess risk and direct resources effectively.
Contact and additional information
Our teams have adopted a hybrid approach to working between office and home and are dispersed between several locations. You can be based anywhere but you must be within travelling distance of our Aqua House Hub in Birmingham where our intelligence staff are based.
We want to reflect the diverse communities that we serve, embracing difference and including everyone, so welcome applications from groups that are under-represented across our workforce.
