Amadeus House – Heathrow

Home Office Intelligence brings together a number of existing teams involved in the collection and analysis of border and immigration related intelligence. It delivers Intelligence Collection, Development, Analysis, Targeting (Data Analytics) and Watchlisting capabilities within the Home Office and to its partners across Government and Law Enforcement. Learn more on the HO Intelligence careers page.

Home Office Intelligence has three Dedicated Source Units (DSUs) which are a standard feature for the lawful and effective management of Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS) in compliance with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA). The DSUs are supported by a central Source Development Unit (SDU) which supports the DSUs, provides a vital role in managing Source status drift for the department, and is currently transforming to take a more active role in CHIS recruitment.

The effective recruitment and management of CHIS generates high grade intelligence, maximises intervention opportunities and produces the strongest likelihood of meeting the department’s strategic objectives and fulfilling its intelligence requirement.

The Source Development Unit currently sits within Home Office Intelligence, a new directorate bringing together Border Force Intelligence, Border Force International and Immigration Intelligence, created to provide a single strategic and operational lead primarily for all Border Force and Immigration Enforcement intelligence requirements and functions.

You will manage the Source Development Unit (SDU), based at Amadeus House. The SDU seeks to identify individuals who can provide further intelligence on organised immigration crime and current Home Office Intelligence priorities.

The SDU also acts as the single point of contact and advisor for the Home Office on matters relating to Human Intelligence Sources and Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS), and is the statutory centre for records of CHIS deployments and use.

The SDU additionally provides administrative support to the DSUs and performs an important role in the risk assessment of CHIS operations by conducting comprehensive due diligence checks on behalf of the CHIS handlers.

Key functions of the SDU include:

• Identification and development of potential CHIS for the DSUs.

• Initial contact with prospective CHIS, and recording/dissemination of intelligence product.

• Providing vital administrative and research support to the DSUs.

• Managing the Source Champion network and CHIS awareness among internal and external operational partners through appropriate Source training and liaison.

• Providing a central point of contact for internal and external partners to facilitate CHIS referrals.

• Conduct research and due diligence on prospective CHIS enabling comprehensive risk assessment.

• Recording and coordinating CHIS taskings from internal and external partners.

Current transformation of the SDU is looking to move towards proactive recruitment of CHIS, and it is intended that you will attend specialist relevant training to manage this function, and be an accredited CHIS Controller to oversee CHIS recruitment activity.

This is an exciting role which requires a robust personality and the ability to work to tight time frames, often without direct supervision.

Expected posting length for the post is a minimum period of 2 years following the successful completion of the mandatory Advanced Source Controller Skills training programme.

This is a specialist post and only available on a full-time basis. There is a likely requirement to work flexibly, including some unsociable hours (public holidays, nights and weekend) and being on call.

Please be aware that on-call requires you to reside within a reasonable travelling distance to the office you are posted to. Reasonable distance is deemed as 90 minutes travelling time for London-region based post.

You will also be required to complete and pass the Advanced Source Controller Skills training programme. Please note that this course is 3-4 weeks in duration, which may be residential.

There is likely to be additional specialised CHIS training requirement in relation to source recruitment for the candidate offered the role.

Please note that failure to complete or pass these requirements will mean that you have not met the requirements of the post and will be redeployed. 

You will be required to:

• Demonstrate a good knowledge and understanding of RIPA 2000, CHIS Codes of Practice, Criminal Procedure and Investigation Act 1996 (CPIA), Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA), Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and the principles of General Data Protection Regulations.

• Oversee the administrative functions of the SDU in support of the DSUs and CHIS capability, including line management of SDU staff undertaking this work.

• Oversee the identification and recruitment of potential CHIS, including line management of SDU staff undertaking this work, in line with IE CHIS Standard Operating Procedures.

• As an accredited Controller, oversee SDU recruitment of CHIS for the DSUs, and provide Controller resilience to the DSUs.

• Actively promote awareness of source related capability in the Home Office by seeking out, engaging and educating both new and existing internal and external partners.

• Be responsible for maintaining the SDU’s security standards.

• Promote a professional working environment by maintaining the highest standards of behaviour and integrity.

• Lead by example, and encourage staff to drive team performance, working innovatively, collaboratively and with respect.

Essential criteria

• Experience of working in an operational Law Enforcement role, in particular, Intelligence and/or Criminal Investigation.

• Experience of managing an operational team.

Desirable criteria

• Accredited Controller.

• Previous training in or experience of Source Management, including experience of the authorisation processes under RIPA 2000.
