Form of work
SalaryImmigration Enforcement 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.
The Operational Capabilities Command (OCC) is a directorate within Enforcement, Compliance & Crime (ECC). Our mission is to ensure that operational colleagues have the skills, capabilities, tools and infrastructure which are modern, environmentally sustainable, fit for purpose and allows staff to maximise their operational effectiveness.
Our aim is to work across people and strategic workforce planning, change, digital, performance, engagement, risk, law enforcement engagement and our vulnerability and fair treatment teams collaboratively as one team. We will act as agents of change, to provide the innovation, service and thought leadership that is needed so that Enforcement, Compliance & Crime (ECC) runs well as a command now and transforms further to meet the demands and opportunities of the future.
The Training and Skills Unit (TSAU) works with law enforcement and cross-government partners to tackle serious and organised immigration crime with a focus on bringing to justice those who exploit the vulnerable, for example cases of modern slavery and human trafficking.
This is a professional learning team made up of subject matter experts (SME) and professional trainers who have the knowledge and the networks to enable partnership working within and outside of Enforcement, Compliance and Crime (ECC) extending to external stakeholders including the College of Policing. Our focus is on enabling leaders and managers to improve the experience for colleagues, building the capabilities required to create resilient, competent and confident IE officers of the future. We aim to do this through being values driven, insight led, outcome focused, agile and expert.
The team is licensed by the College of Policing to deliver training under the auspices of the Professionalising Investigation Programme (PIP).
In addition to training across the different levels of PIP the team develop and deliver Continuing Professional Development (CPD) interventions which support and enhance deployment capability of Immigration Enforcement Officers.
The post holder will have responsibility for the delivery, and evaluation of all learning across PIP 1 and PIP 2. This includes Disclosure Officer, Digital & Internet Investigations, Public Protection, Cash Seizure, Advanced Interviewing, Digital Media Investigation, Investigative Supervisors and Managers Programme, PACE and Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA)/ Investigatory Powers Act (IPA). You will also contribute your SME experience to the design of programmes.
All our trainers should either hold or be willing to work towards a Level 4 Learning and Development qualification within 12 months in post.
TASU delivers learning events at locations throughout the United Kingdom, and occasionally overseas. These courses can be between 1-3 days or upward to 4-6 weeks. If successful, you will need to be aware that this post involves travel and periods away from home, although part time and flexible working patterns are possible.
As an Operational Officer, you will be expected and directed to return to the business for periods at a time by your line manager. This will ensure your skills remain current with operational practices, complete continuous professional development (CPD) and any other agreed function.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to develop and embed a wide range of people and engagement skills within a high performing team, delivering what is required to continue to make the team a great place to work and to support staff and senior managers in delivery.
