Employment Type: Full Time - All roles are available for flexible working, including job sharing and part-time, unless operational reasons prevent this.
We are inviting applications for two full-time Staff Investigator positions within SEROCU, part of the Regional Cyber & Online Serious Organised Crime unit. This unit investigates serious cybercrime and aims to disrupt organised crime groups or high-harm individuals using online platforms such as the Dark Web or Telegram to facilitate crimes like drug supply, weapons, counterfeit currency, and human trafficking.
This role offers an exciting opportunity to coordinate and support major and sensitive investigations, gather evidence and intelligence, and support investigative strategies.
The successful candidate will develop and maintain effective relationships with collaborative forces and partner agencies across the South East region, including international law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, Europol, and Interpol.
Applicants should have some experience as an effective investigator and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Flexibility regarding working hours is required to meet operational demands, including occasional work away from home. A full UK driving licence is essential. The role may also require on-call duties for immediate response across the South East region.
