**Job summary**:
The Directorate of Security and Resilience (DSR) mission is to support the delivery of Defence outputs by protecting our people, assets and information in the UK and overseas. DSR is responsible for setting resilience and security policy for Defence and provides advice on how to counter and mitigate the key threats and hazards faced by Defence from a wide range of threats including: hostile state actors; terrorist organisations; and serious and organised crime groups. DSR delivers the MOD’s security policy on: the Defence Nuclear Enterprise; culture and training; physical; personnel and vetting; policing and guarding; resilience and business continuity; and industry. DSR leads the Security Function within Defence, led by the Chief Security Officer of the MOD, who also acts as the Head of Profession for Security in Defence.

The DSR Vetting team covers three specific areas of responsibility:

- Setting Defence vetting policy, working with the Government Security Group in the Cabinet Office to influence government vetting policy, and interpreting it for the MOD and its partners;
- Vetting delivery - maintaining close contact with UKSV and our internal vetting stakeholders to oversee the vetting service; and
- Leading the vetting casework team that makes vetting risk decisions for MOD civil servants and Defence industry personnel.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

**Job description**:
This 1 year Fixed Term Appointment in the Vetting team in DSR is required to establish and pilot a new process to reduce the impact of national security vetting on the recruitment timeline for civil servants transferring from other government departments. The postholder will establish a reporting mechanism to allow the pilot to be evaluated and be responsible for initial analysis and understanding.

The postholder will need to work closely with stakeholders in DBS and CivHR. There will be a high level of personal responsibility for delivery.

The role will be an integral part of the vetting casework team, and so may also be responsible for personnel security clearance checks (Vetting casework) for MOD civil servants and Defence contractors; including providing advice around high risk, complex and contentious cases. Working with the other members of the team, and maintaining thorough and timely records of action, this is a casework role that requires attention to detail and great team working.

We are looking for an extraordinary individual who is a team player, energetic and enthusiastic, able to multi-task and who enjoys being flexible.

This post is based in MOD Main Building, but there is scope for flexible working. The rest of the team currently splits their time between working in MOD Main Building and Homeworking. There is an expectation to be in Main Building at least once a week.

**Person specification**:
**Responsibilities**
- Establish a mechanism to conduct fast, thorough assessment to identify when vetting transfers will be low risk, where OGD HR transfers can be delivered speedily. This will speed up transfers into MOD from other departments, but manage any vetting risks appropriately. - Design a pilot, to include a process for transfer checks of the vetting file, and a protocol and process for monitoring the pilot. This will require consultation with other vetting caseworkers and DBS Civ Transfer staff.
- Deliver the pilot process, monitoring the outcome and reporting to AH Vetting Policy. Provide initial analysis of the success of the pilot.
- Conduct MOD Vetting requirement checks in partnership with Security vetting casework team.
- Use sound judgement, evidence and knowledge to arrive at accurate, expert and professional decisions whilst ensuring all information is handled appropriately and with care, upholding the ‘vetting in confidence’ principle.
- Research and assess security clearances including Referral Indicators. Consider whether any identified risks can be mitigated, consulting the local risk owner where appropriate.
- Manage case files ensuring that receipt/return is logged.
- Advise key stakeholders (such as human resources and the security community) on referrals regarding postings, appointments and access to sensitive material.
- Manage the daily triaging of new referrals into the team.
- Create appeal packs which includes briefing material and an Appeal Hearing Introduction for the delegated Deciding Officer.

Essential Skills:

- Due to regular engagement with stakeholders the post hold
