Counter Terrorism Policing North West (CTPNW) is a five-force collaboration delivering Counter Terrorism (CT) services to our regional forces as well as forming part of the national CT Network. Our staff work to the Government’s CONTEST strategy under the four pillars of Prevent, Protect, Prepare and Pursue. We use a functional model with Senior Responsible Officers, line manged by the CT Head, leading areas of Investigations, Intelligence, Business Services, Borders, Special Projects, Prevent and Change.

CTPNW’s mission is to work together to keep people safe from terrorism. Our priorities focus us to drive business through performance, improvement and transformation so we can continue to counter the ever-changing threat of terrorism and extremism. Operational oversight and governance is managed by the CT ACC and the CT Head coordinates delivery against the four strands of CONTEST in collaboration with local policing teams and other partner agencies. At the heart of CTPNW is our people, we are committed to continuing to make the CTPNW a great place to work.

For us to reduce the risk and threat of terrorism and protect the public, our people need to be at their best. They can only be at their best if they are able to be themselves at work and are supported through development and learning within their current role and future roles within the network.

We are seeking a Head of Analysis who is a committed and highly motivated individual. You will have significant experience of Analysis and equally importantly you will have excellent proven leadership skills. Working to the Director of Intelligence, you will also be a valued member of the overarching CTPNW Senior leadership team. You will lead your own teams to provide essential R&A support to all strands within CTPNW. You will provide effective line management to 5 senior analysts with overall responsibility for over 40 analysts and researchers with a wide and varied workload including responsibility for evidential products, performance measures and strategic analysis. As Head of Analysis, you will have responsibility for managing and developing intelligence analysis to inform decision-making and mitigate threat, risk and harm.

You will also be given opportunity to contribute to national direction and strategy for the wider CT network by being an active member of the Analyst and Research Capability Board.

The postholder will be expected to manage CTPNW staff throughout the NW region and can therefore elect to be based at one of the three main hubs in either Merseyside, Lancashire or GMP, as their main place of work. Please note to deliver dynamic and supportive leadership to your teams, some travel within the NW region will also be expected.

If you have any queries in relation to this fantastic opportunity, please contact Detective Superintendent Helen Collier [email protected] or the current Head of Analysis Ruth O’Malley [email protected].
