**THE ROLE**

Applications are invited from Constables (who have had their probation confirmed) for vacancies at Luton Airport. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the Counter Terrorism Border Policing team within the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) CT Policing command. ERSOU Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) covers the counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.

The normal place of duty for this post will be Luton Airport. Successful applicants will be seconded to Bedfordshire for command and control purposes and thus may be deployed regionally. The shift pattern is available on request.

Officers provide border policing services and gather intelligence relating to Counter Terrorism, Left-Wing, Anarchist and Single-Issue Terrorism **(LASIT)** and other associated ERSOU-CTP matters across the Eastern region.

The position requires engagement with partner agencies at the airport, foreign law enforcement bodies as well as engaging with passengers through operational deployment within the airport.
