About Homeland Security

The Homeland Security Group (HSG) unites capabilities and expertise to deliver better outcomes from the UK’s response to the most serious domestic threats - Terrorism, Cyber, State Threats and Economic Crime. The group will strengthen coordination and collective focus across a range of growing and overlapping threats, whilst remaining consistent with existing strategies. Working with partners, HSG will foster more transparent and sustainable collaboration between national security, law enforcement and other relevant communities to enhance capabilities and leverage our response to threats.

As part of the Home Office, the role of the Homeland Security Group is to:

- Support the Home Secretary to develop and implement strategies to keep our people and interests safe and secure
- Build HMG capabilities to reduce national security risk
- Reduce volume of, and harm from, economic crime, particularly for the most vulnerable
- Work in partnership with public and private sectors in the UK and overseas to deliver better outcomes
- Ensure legitimate economic growth and prosperity

The Protect, Prepare, CBRNE and Science and Technology (PPCS) directorate is a part of the Homeland Security mission in the Home Office, which is a key part of the national security community. In line with our directorate’s values, we will represent the diversity of modern Britain in thought and outlook, delivering better outcomes in keeping our country safe and our citizens secure. We will embed diversity and inclusion in everything we do and build a positive and safe environment for staff to bring their whole selves to work, to thrive and achieve their full potential.
- PPCS has a core set of cultural values that were developed by its staff and are central to its approach to business:
- People: Courage, Inclusion, Compassion, Respect
- Public Service: Resilience, Tenacity, Expertise, Composure
- Collaboration: Integrity, Enthusiasm, Openness, Fairness
- Support: Motivation, Passion, Trust, Honesty

Due to the nature of the role, the volume of work and the increased pressure it would bring on the individual and team, this role is not suitable on a part-time basis. Job share and compressed hours are possible.
