Job Title: NaVCIS Investigations Manager

Work Location: NaVCIS; College of Policing, Ryton on Dunsmore, near Coventry

Contact Type: Permanent

We are looking for an individual to join us as an Investigations Manager, within a national policing unit working to ensure safer communities in the UK and around the world.

What’s the role about?

You will bring your experience from a proven investigations background providing leadership and strategies for fraud/theft investigations across the unit. You will have a pivotal role in identifying and addressing organised vehicle crime as part of a multi-agency approach across force/regional & national boundaries.

This is an opportunity to manage a team with the successful candidate having a pivotal role in helping to ensure the delivery of our services continue to be effective and efficient.

The National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS) is a national police unit, hosted by Hampshire Constabulary but based near Coventry. We work closely with partner agencies across law enforcement and the private sector in order to better understand and mitigate the threats posed by vehicle theft.

Motor finance fraud and associated offences impact upon victims and communities, the national economy and demands placed upon law enforcement agencies. Through effective partnership working NaVCIS seeks to prevent offences of motor finance fraud by our subject matter experts investigating, developing and sharing specialist intelligence to support law enforcement investigations to prevent crime and disrupt organised criminality.

The successful applicant will support the senior leadership team in protecting the UK from vehicle finance fraud, providing assistance to colleagues in the NaVCIS Investigation Team.

The role of Investigations Manager will entail prioritising and allocating work to a team, building relationships with the private sector and other law-enforcement agencies both within the UK and overseas, preparing and leading operations, contributing to the NaVCIS tasking and co-ordination process, undertaking presentations and the management of performance data.

The role holder may be required to visit various locations either within the UK or overseas. This may involve staying away from home. The role holder must be able to meet travel requirements so therefore possess a valid passport for travel outside of the UK and have a current full driving licence.

The post holder may need to work occasional unsocial hours to respond to operational demands.
