**Job summary**:
The Home Office is here to make our country safer. As well as working to protect the most vulnerable, reduce crime and enforce the law, we also work to, and have a proud history of, providing refuge to those who have been displaced or are seeking asylum. Whether it is fighting crime, protecting our borders or combating slavery, the Home Office (HO) is at the cutting edge of public policy in this country and our work is some of the most challenging and rewarding in government.

The role of the Public Safety Group, which sits within the HO, is to keep the public safe by protecting the vulnerable, cutting crime, disrupting the highest harm criminals, and ensuring that our police, fire and rescue services are as trusted, efficient and effective as they can be in delivering front line public services.

The people in our Group develop and implement policy, provide funding, and deliver legislation. We make the most of innovation, data, and partnerships to protect the vulnerable, prevent crime, and tackle the highest harm crimes. We work with our partners in law enforcement, establishing governance arrangements at a national, regional, and local level.

The Drugs and Firearms Licensing Unit (DFLU) is part of the Crime Reduction Directorate in the Public Safety Group of the Home Office. It is responsible for enabling the licit use of controlled drugs, whilst preventing their diversion to the illicit market.

We are recruiting to this exciting and varied post, offering an ideal development opportunity for existing operational managers (or those with experience of people and operational management) looking for a new challenge where you can make a real difference to a great many, and to diversify your skills in this outward-facing regulatory field, of Ministerial interest. This is a post with a significant technical casework element.

**Job description**:
The unit is responsible for issuing licences for controlled drugs (import/export and domestic) and for prohibited firearms possessed by registered firearms dealers, freight companies, maritime armed guards, clubs and museums. The drug and firearms licensing regimes operate under separate legislative frameworks, but there are clear operational synergies.

The unit is also responsible for the operational policy which governs the licensing regimes and engages with a wide range of stakeholders such as pharmaceutical, care, health, research, wholesalers, airlines, the National Crime Agency, the police, shooting organisations, regulatory bodies and other government departments.

This is a reputationally important role, interacting with varied stakeholder groups, some of whom can be challenging. The UK has a strong regulatory reputation for Controlled Drug and Precursor Chemicals; this role is the public face of the ‘inspection regime’.

This role requires significant domestic travel throughout the UK. This does include overnight stays in line with Home Office guidance and all costs associated with this travel will be met by the business area.

A typical working week will see you in the Croydon office Monday and Tuesday, an early start to Edinburgh on Wednesday with an overnight stay, Blackpool on Thursday travelling home that afternoon, working from home on Friday.

Public safety and excellent customer service are at the heart of what we do. The post holder will join one other Senior Compliance Officer and will manage a team of HEO (Higher Executive Officer) Compliance Officers. This role will be reporting to the Head of Domestic Drugs Licensing; it is a challenging and diverse role focusing on the operational delivery of licensing decisions and is responsible for ensuring that the UK meets its international obligations; delivering an operational response to the drug strategy, including a licensing regime that enables the legitimate use of drugs and precursor chemicals, while preventing their diversion to the illicit market; operating a robust and proportionate drug and firearms licensing regime; and playing its part in ensuring unit maximises opportunities for full cost recovery and delivers operational efficiencies.

The post-holder will manage a team of up to seven people and will support the development of operational policy and play a key role in delivering it, manage the casework of others while undertaking complex casework, compliance checking the work of the team, and building and managing performance management.
With a growing customer base it is vital that the unit mai
