**Job description**:
Border Force check all passengers and freight arriving in the UK by air and sea and conduct intelligence-led searches for prohibited, counterfeit or restricted goods such as drugs, firearms, weapons, cash, tobacco, and alcohol.

Heathrow is one of the world’s busiest and most high-profile airports.

Added to this, 65% of the UK’s air freight, valued at £100 billion passes through the airport every year.

**Person specification**:
As a Border Force Officer at Heathrow, your first role will be based at the Primary Control Points across one of Heathrow’s 4 terminals. It will be your job to find out why passengers from across the world are coming to the UK, decide if they are eligible to do so and stop those who are not.

To do this you will:

- Operate immigration and customs controls to check passenger permissions and documentation
- Identify vulnerable adults and children to prioritise their safety and refer to appropriate agencies
- Interview passengers, undertake investigations and determine whether they qualify for entry to the UK
- Arrest offenders, preserve evidence, manage detention and liaise with other law enforcement partners.
