Overview

As an Intelligence Technical Officer in the Environment Agency’s National Environmental Crime Unit, you will build confidence and capability across area teams in intelligence-led ways of working and the use of intelligence systems, to build a greater understanding of the Threat, Risk and Harm and drive a better approach to tackling environmental offending and protect officer safety.

This is a new role within the Intelligence and Partnerships team. You will support area teams by providing Memex training and promote the use and benefits of Memex and improve the quality of intelligence submitted. You will provide face-to-face training to area staff on our Intelligence system, MEMEX, and support area teams to submit intelligence and conduct searches. You will supervise intelligence logs to ensure a high standard of quality in submissions, create entities from Memex submissions, and provide regular reports on performance with feedback to improve performance. You will ensure high standards of quality of intelligence submissions and undertake other duties commensurate with the role.

We are committed to an inclusive workforce and welcome flexible working patterns, including job share. You will be expected to respond to incidents as part of our duties; this may attract additional payment and full training, with alternative working arrangements available to support your incident role. Travel to Birmingham and other offices where staff are based will be required on occasions. Interviews are via Microsoft Teams and expected in October.
