Bring your reporting skills to Counter Terrorism (CT) Policing
A career with CT Policing is like no other, with specialist roles spanning the UK and internationally. The current threat from terrorism to the UK and overseas is different to anything we have faced before. We need to be in a position to respond to this new, constantly changing and diversifying threat to help protect our communities. Embarking upon this challenge in the current economic climate also means finding new ways to operate. This is your opportunity to make a real contribution to the UK’s ability to fight terrorism and keep our citizens safe both at home and abroad.

The National Counter Terrorism Policing Headquarters (NCTPHQ) is the corporate centre for national Counter Terrorism (CT) policing, and provides operational and support services to the CT policing network at a national level, including all CT and Protective Security Commands. You will be working for the CT Policing Change Pillar, which oversees a number of complex change projects and programmes across the CT policing network and in support of the wider National Counter Terrorism Policing Strategy. The current operational environment for CT is dynamic, therefore CT Policing must continually respond and change to the threat. Change is therefore at the heart of CT.

We are investing to grow our capabilities to deal with both new and existing threats. The Portfolio Management Office within the Change Pillar has been established to ensure change is aligned to strategy, sets priorities, allocates resources, co-ordinates delivery and realisation of benefits, and ensures consistent standards and reporting of progress. The Change Portfolio is growing in line with the demand for change to counter current and future threats, and so a number of exciting new roles have been created to support this area of business.

Using your skills and professional ability, you will help manage and support complex projects and programmes to deliver change for the better for UK Counter Terrorism Policing and influence how the network operates in the future. You will be working with colleagues from within the police service, our partners, government and experts from private industry.

Working within NCTPHQ Change Pillar, the Reporting Officer will be responsible for effective reporting into governance either at a portfolio, programme or project level - across the national and London Counter Terrorism & Protective Security (CT & PS) portfolios of projects and programmes.

The purpose of this role, working within the Portfolio Management Office (PfMO), is to develop and manage effective reporting products for change governance, tracking and monitoring updates, managing escalations, managing effective change control etc. This role will report directly and be managed by the Band B Portfolio Office Manager.

The role holder will need to work flexibly in periods of high demand i.e. able to work at portfolio, programme or project level. Whilst sitting under the team structure of the Portfolio Management Office (PfMO), they could be tasked to support projects or programmes manage their own reporting processes and governance structures.

With CT Policing you will have the chance to learn new skills and be part of a dynamic team that will help you reach your full potential. There will be opportunities for career progression and professional development.
