Form of work
SalaryThe UK Financial Intelligence Unit's Engagement Teams are responsible for engaging, supporting, and educating on the effective submission and use of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).
Engagement Officers work with law enforcement partners and private sector organisations across the UK to improve understanding of the SARs regime and increase the effective use of SARs as a vital source of intelligence in any investigation. As an Engagement Officer in the UKFIU you will work to improve the quality of SARs being submitted and their exploitation by law enforcement, and play a key role in continuing to make the UK a hostile place for money launderers.
The Reporter Engagementand SARs Exploitation Teams form part of the UKFIU’s overall engagement function, which also includes a Digital Media Publications team. Officers in the SARs Exploitation Team work with law enforcement partners across the UK to increase the effective use of SARs as a vital source of intelligence in any investigation, while officers in the Reporter Engagement Team work with reporters across the private sector to increase their understanding of the SARs regime and improve the quality of the SARs they submit.
There are roles available in both the SARs Exploitation Team and the Reporter Engagement Team and applicants from a range of backgrounds are encouraged to apply. However, successful applicants with a law enforcement background are likely to be placed in the SARs Exploitation Team. Engagements in both teams range from providing 1-2-1 guidance and support direct to law enforcement partners and reporters, to delivering presentations and training to a wide range of audiences or speaking at external conferences and other events.
