We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and suitably skilled individual to join the team, on a two-year contract, enforcing specific areas of our work. We are looking to recruit an individual with a flair for finding crime (particularly on social media) and a determination to resolve issues. The post will undertake enforcement work aimed primarily at intellectual property law and other legislation where we can make the most of the Proceeds of Crime Act to take illicit earning from the hand of criminals.
The nature of the post will require a flexible approach to work including occasionally working outside what are regarded as normal hours. Preferably you can demonstrate recent experience in enforcement. Other essential qualities will include strong written and verbal communication skills, the ability to deal firmly but fairly with people, and the ability to prioritise a demanding workload. Managing priorities and maintaining momentum will be key features for the successful applicants.
