Job Summary
This is an exciting time to be working as Counter Terrorism Communications, Intelligence and Operational Coordinator (CTCIOC) within SO15/Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). In addition to large-scale transformation, there's the unique and ever-evolving challenge of policing London. This means that as a CTCIOC, there are more opportunities for you to get involved with making London the safest global city in a time of unprecedented change within the UK's largest Police Service.
SO15 Reserve is a unit that provides 24 hour first point of contact into the SO15 Counter Terrorism Command for the rest of the MPS, members of the public, other government agencies, all government departments, any national and international police or other law enforcement bodies.
This is a full time 24/7 shift roster, comprising of two Early turns (07:00 – 15:00), two Late turns (13:00 – 21:00) and two Night duties 19:00 – 07:00 with four days off, attracting the 20% shift disturbance allowance.
Key Responsibilities
- Most of the work is by telephone so must have a positive and helpful telephone manner and be prepared to support and assist with whatever is needed when someone calls into Reserve. You must be able to receive, register and appropriately grade enquiries and information from internal and external sources including intelligence agencies.
- Reserve is the custodian of a wide range of pre-planned contingency plans which you will be involved with implementing as and when they are required, some with critical time constraints.

- You will assist the SO15 Duty Officer to provide the initial response and co-ordination of the CT Command assets in the first stages of any CT incident or other incident of interest to SO15.
- Reserve comprises five small teams (1xBand D, 4xK1) so you must be a genuine team player who has a positive outlook and the ability to proactively identify problems or issues and work out solutions to fix them
