Immigration Enforcement – Criminal and Financial Investigation – Chief Immigration Officer

Southfield House – Durham

Job summary

Immigration 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.

Job description

Immigration Enforcement (IE) tackles the criminality behind organised immigration crime. Our Criminal and Financial Investigation (CFI) teams play a fundamental role in tackling 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 with CFI teams is challenging and fast paced, requiring quick decision making in demanding situations. Our Criminal & Financial Investigators undertake 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. All staff are 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.”

Where we uncover evidence of criminality linked to immigration abuse, we investigate these offences under the Immigration Act 1971 and related legislation such as the Identity Documents Act 2010. Such offences might include facilitation, human trafficking, and the use of false or fraudulently obtained documents.

In England and Wales we use powers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) in much the same way as the police do, while in Scotland and Northern Ireland we currently rely on the Immigration Acts.

You’ll manage a team of Immigration Officers focusing on serious and organised immigration crime investigations to achieve maximum disruption of organised crime group (OCG)’s operating in the UK and overseas. Using the latest techniques, you’ll disrupt and apprehend high-threat criminal immigration focused activities, build cases, and bring criminals to justice. The primary aim of this team is to take forward investigations into the organised groups who are facilitating the illegal movement of migrants.

The post requires a commitment to working flexibly, including weekend working, shift working and will involve some travel throughout the UK as well as working away from home, including overnight stays where necessary.

Person specification

The successful candidate will join an established team, and undertake all duties relevant to the Chief Immigration Officer grade including:

  • Leading and directing investigative syndicates through effective decision making and use of recognised action management principles.
  • Acting as the lead investigator in the most serious and complex cases or otherwise acting as the senior investigating officer.
  • Managing and monitoring of investigations to ensure progress towards disruption targets.
  • Providing quality assurance of investigations.
  • Assisting with operational activity and taking responsibility for investigations and operations.
  • Building and maintaining effective working relationships with other law enforcement partners and stakeholders.
  • Attending court when required to give evidence.
  • Ensuring compliance with Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE), Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act (CPIA) and Home Office policy, procedures and professional standards.
  • Managing a team of Immigration Officer Criminal Investigators.

The successful candidate will be required to undergo and pass a health assessment, which is usually repeated every three years (although this can sometimes be yearly for specific health reasons).

If not already trained successful candidates will also need to be arrest trained to PST level 3 and pass an annual PST refresher to enable them to undertake operational activity (this may be residential depending on location).

There will be a requirement to attend court to give evidence. All Criminal and Financial Investigation staff are required to disclose any adverse judicial decisions or internal disciplinary matters under CPIA. Applicants need to bear this in mind when considering their eligibility for this post.

Essential Criteria

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

  • Previous experience of leading complex crime investigations, including a comprehensive understanding (through practical application) of relevant legislation, and ability to lead a team of investigators of varying experience.
  • A professional accreditation of PIP2 level (see qualifications below) is mandatory.
  • Experience of taking complex investigations to court, of working collaboratively with CPS and Counsel and have demonstrated fortitude in this pressurised environment.
  • An all-round awareness of the specialist functions associated with complex crime investigation such as use of POCA, surveillance, exploitation of digital devices, operational planning and public protection.
  • A good understanding of immigration legislation and the ability to consider non-prosecution disruption methods.
  • Ability to work collaboratively across law enforcement and government; maximising the opportunity to work in partnership with others to enhance the reach and reputation of Immigration Enforcement.
  • Excellent leadership skills and be focused on the development of others.

Applicants should note that it is a requirement of the post that arrest and criminal investigation accreditation is achieved and maintained.

Licences

Due to the nature of the work and the geographical area, some travel by official vehicle will be inevitable and applicants must hold a valid full UK manual driving licence.

Qualifications

Professionalising Investigation Programme (PIP) Level 2 (see attached guidance).

The post holder must be an experienced investigator with a proven background in leading serious and complex investigations. A professional accreditation of PIP2 is mandatory.

Professionalising Investigation Programme (PIP) is a four level accreditation programme under the auspices of the National Police Chiefs Council and the College of Policing. Those officers accredited at PIP Level 2 will have successfully passed the National Investigators Examination and undertaken the Initial Crime Investigators Development Programme (ICIDP) course plus Tier 2 Interviewing and demonstrated operational competence through completion of a work-based portfolio which will have undergone assessment and verification in force prior to being substantively awarded the title of detective. Officers who were in a detective role prior to 2005 may have obtained legacy accreditation based upon having completed the ten-week CID course and exhibited operational competence in role. Evidence of both routes should be available from either Force or certification. Evidence of recent valid accreditation from the date of application must be produced. Evidence is acceptable in either certification or by advising a point of contact in force/previous role with whom we can confirm accreditation. This will be requested during the sift process.
