SEROCU are pleased to advertise an analyst position within the Threat and Performance Team. This is a unique role to be part of the analytical capability across SEROCU.

As an Intelligence Analyst you will use recognised analytical techniques to create intelligence products aimed at supporting the national conversation on how to tackle SOC with the most up-to-date and accurate data and analysis from policing. You will also analyse and assess known and emerging SOC threats as outlined in the South East Control Strategy to devise strategies and recommendations to assist in the detection, prevention, targeting and disruption of these problems.

The Research and Analysis department offers a comprehensive induction, mentoring and training package for all new starters irrespective of experience. We welcome applications from people with an analytical mind-set or have analytical experience from various industry areas who have a proven ability to problem solve and deliver and communicate results effectively. If you are keen to explore a new challenge, apply your analytical skills into an exciting role, and make a tangible difference through your work we look forward to receiving your application.

Please refer to the attached job description for a full outline of the role.

Please note that this role is part of a national, regional and local network and as a result you may be required to travel for business purposes mainly across the south east region and occasionally throughout the UK. Therefore, the successful candidate will require a full UK driving licence. Additionally, this role supports live operations and investigations so there maybe times where the flexibility to work overtime is required to manage operational risk.

Due to the nature of our work, security is of paramount importance to us and therefore it will be necessary to pass and maintain vetting level SC together with a number of enhanced security checks. In order to achieve this, you must have resided in the UK for the past five years. Exemptions may apply for overseas or other diplomatic service (with HM Government), and studying abroad.

You can find more information about security vetting here .
