**Job summary**:
**The challenge**

The Home Office is central to UK life. Our work extends from devising drugs policies and ensuring the immigration system is not being abused, to delivering an accountable policing service. Join us in this important senior role and you’ll head the Immigration Enforcement Competent Authority (IECA) team, leading around 350 colleagues across 9 geographical locations in England, Scotland and Wales. The team runs the operational National Referral Mechanism system, which is designed to identify and support victims of modern slavery and human trafficking, an area with a high degree of scrutiny from Ministers, the media and a wide range of stakeholders.

**Job description**:
**The role**

The IECA was set up in 2021 to make modern slavery decisions on those with an immigration footprint, and is first and foremost a safeguarding team. Established because many of the people referred have ongoing immigration claims, the streamlined approach we take to our work ensures that the system cannot be easily misused by anyone who is not a genuine victim.

When you join us, you’ll use all your management and leadership skills as you collaborate across policy, operational and legal teams to identify and deliver change. Since its creation the IECA has been one of Immigration Enforcement’s most high-profile and innovative units, driving operational improvements and reforms to ensure victims are identified and recognised more quickly.

Last year we recognised nearly 600 individuals as confirmed victims of modern slavery - this helped them to receive the support and guidance they needed to recover in the UK, and it will be your task to continue and enhance the important work we do.

**About you**

With the skills to inspire, engage and lead a large, diverse and geographically dispersed team, and the ability to build, empower and motivate colleague engagement, you’ll have a successful track record of delivering results in a complex, politically sensitive environment, and experience of working with Ministers and other senior stakeholders.

Skilled at planning, implementing and monitoring the delivery of stretching goals, you’ll be capable of identifying innovative ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the resources we use. We’ll also expect you to be ready to build strong relationships and work collaboratively with a range of partners across our organisation, influencing effectively while facing competing priorities.

In turn, we can offer you a truly great career within one of the Government’s most interesting and inclusive departments. With ongoing training and development opportunities and a competitive benefits package, there is no saying where your career will take you in the Home Office.

**Person specification**:
**Essential Criteria**
- Inspirational and engaging leadership of large, diverse and geographically dispersed teams, and an ability to build, empower and motivate a high performing, resilient and inclusive team, raising employee engagement at all levels.
- A successful track record of delivering results in a complex, politically sensitive environment with previous experience of working with Ministers/senior stakeholders.
- The ability to plan, implement and monitor the delivery of stretching goals, identifying innovative ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the use of resources.
- The ability to build strong relationships and work collaboratively with a range of partners across the organisation, influencing effectively in the light of competing priorities.

**Benefits**:

- Alongside your salary of £75,000, Home Office contributes £20,250 towards you being a member of the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme. Find out what benefits a Civil Service Pension provides.- Learning and development tailored to your role
- An environment with flexible working options
