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.

The Source Development Unit [SDU] seeks to identify officers who can provide intelligence in support of the current Immigration Requirements (IRs) of the Home Office. The SDU also acts as the single point of contact and advisor for the Home Office on all matters relating to Human Intelligence Sources (HIS) and Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS), and is the statutory centre for Immigration Enforcement [IE] records of CHIS deployments and use.

Key functions of the CHIS Recruitment officer will include, but are not restricted to:

• Identification and development of potential CHIS for the Dedicated Source Units (DSUs).
• Initial contact with prospective CHIS, and recording/dissemination of intelligence product.
• Working with handlers across the DSU offices to recruit CHIS opportunity and provide handler resilience.
• Providing vital 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.
• Liaison with internal and external operational partners to identify CHIS opportunity.
• 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 the successful candidate attends specialist relevant training to facilitate this, and becomes Source handler accredited to work with DSUs on CHIS recruitment meetings.

The expectation within the Home Office is that staff will normally remain in post for a minimum of two years following the successful completion of the Advanced Source Handlers Skills training programme. This is due to the staff development investment for this specialist training and also a period of in-role immersion and mentoring. During this time staff will not be eligible to apply for Home Office roles on level transfer.

This post is a specialist post and this is 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.

There will be opportunity to undertake some work from home in line with current flexible working arrangements in Home Office Intelligence, but officers will be expected to respond to on call requirements when operationally necessary.

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

You will be responsible for:

• Demonstrating a good knowledge and understanding of Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), 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.
• Ensuring that all meetings and contacts with sources are conducted using appropriate tradecraft.
• Ensuring the welfare, health and security issues of the source are properly considered and reported on.
• Directing, debriefing and tasking appropriate sources when required.
• Actively promoting awareness of source related capability in the Home Office by seeking out, engaging and educating both new and existing internal and external partners.
• Producing accurate and comprehensive recording of CHIS material including meeting reports, risk assessments, applications, intelligence reports and financial records.
• Promoting a safe working environment through effective risk assessment of every deployment and dynamic risk assessment of every situation.
• Promoting a professional working environment by maintaining the highest standards of behaviour and integrity.
• Actively contributing to the team effort improving performance, demonstrating innovation, working collaboratively and with respect.

Training

• You will be required to complete and pass the Advanced Source Handlers Skills training programme. 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 this post, such as a Source recruitment course.
• Mandatory training for the Source Recruitment role may also be residential.
• You should be aware that this role requires an accredited training process which must be passed before a candidate is legally allowed to undertake the duties of the role. All aspects of this training and mentoring programme are tested and failure to pass will mean the officer will be unable to carry out this role and alternative posts will be looked at.

Once you have successfully completed your probation you will be managed within the Performance Management policy. Failure in any aspects of the training will trigger the use of the departmental Managing Poor Performance policy and this may lead to a decision to dismiss on the grounds of inefficiency.

Please Note: Travel is expected for the role, this may necessitate occasional overnight stays.

Essential Criteria

• Experience of working in a law enforcement operational environment, such as intelligence, criminal investigation or detection work.

Desirable Criteria

• Previous experience of the recruitment of individuals for progression to CHIS authority.
• Previous training in or experience of Source Management.
• Previous experience of the authorisation processes under RIPA 2000.
• Previous training in or experience of UK Immigration rules and legislation.

Full UK valid Manual driving licence – Due to the nature of the work and the geographical area, travel by official vehicle may be required.
