The Counter Terrorism Policing Headquarters (CTPHQ) is the hub of the UK CT policing network. Specialist Operations (SO) is a dynamic unit of the Met Police that gives us specialist policing capabilities. Together, they help to keep the country and millions of people safe from terrorism.

The events of summer 2020 and the Black Lives Matter campaign have led us to embark on an ambitious programme of inclusion and diversity activity. We aim to inspire generational change in the culture of CTPHQ and SO. Now, we’re looking for someone just as ambitious to help make it happen.

This is a rewarding role where you’ll help to shape our future and ensure CTPHQ and SO are reflective of the communities we’re proud to serve. It’s a challenging remit where you’ll champion inclusion, diversity and equality, devising strategies and driving a positive cultural change across everything we do.

Responsible for the creation and implementation of delivery plans, and ensuring that they align with the MPS strategy, you’ll co-ordinate a close-knit team in the delivery of a programme of work. This will see you influence at all levels as you bring together the work of our Listening Circles Governance Board, People Boards, LRPMs and Diversity Boards to ensure that joined-up, holistic and powerful approach.

To succeed, you’ll need:

  • A proven record of managing organisational change in the field of inclusion, diversity and equality (IDE), with the ability to move fast, navigate ambiguity and maintain resilience when challenged on difficult messages.
  • The skills and experience to innovate, push boundaries and deliver change in new and creative ways, and an appetite and eagerness to see the impact of that change.
  • The ability to facilitate meaningful and positive learning experiences, thinking creatively on how to integrate learning across our business group.
  • To be a highly effective communicator, who can work with a range of stakeholders and senior managers.
  • The ability to build rapport quickly and positively influence a wide range of people at all levels.
