Immigration Enforcement (IE) is responsible for enforcing the government’s immigration laws, tackling illegal migration, removing foreign national offenders and immigration offenders from the UK. It also aims to disrupt the organised criminal groups that exploit the vulnerable for their personal gain. Learn more on the Immigration Enforcement careers page.
Immigration Enforcement tackles the criminality behind organised immigration crime. Our Criminal and Financial Investigation (CFI) teams play a fundamental role in addressing immigration crime, as part of a multi-layered UK law enforcement approach. Through working closely with partners in the National Crime Agency, territorial policing and many other agencies and departments, our CFI Teams take vigorous action against those criminals that seek to benefit from illegal migration.
Working in the CFI teams is challenging and fast paced, requiring quick decision making in demanding situations. CFI undertakes a wide range of activities which support the detection, apprehension and removal of immigration offenders. Our people need to operate in sometimes difficult and pressurised environments and are required to make well balanced decisions. You would be expected to demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism and teamwork with adherence to our vision statement:
Tackling immigration crime by empowering our people, inspiring confidence and protecting communities.
The teams are comprised of specially trained immigration officers who work with corporate partners including Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), National Crime Agency (NCA) and others, in pursuit of shared objectives.
The role provides an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to work in a high profile and fast paced area of the business. The successful candidate will gain a full understanding of CFI and also work closely with teams across the Home Office. It is an ideal development opportunity to work in a support role and would suit someone who is interested in gaining a wider understanding of CFI’s work and how it fits within the wider Immigration Enforcement.
There is no shift working requirement, and therefore no AHW allowance available for this post.
We are looking for a candidate who wants real stretch and development in their everyday role.
