**Job summary**:
Border Force is a Law Enforcement arm of the Home Office. We are responsible for handling the UK border control by implementing immigration and customs regulations and working with the wider Home Office on counter terrorism, organised crime, modern slavery and trafficking. Learn more on the Border Force careers page.

Preventing small boat crossings of the Channel remains a top priority for the Home Office. All levers and capabilities across HMG are being drawn upon to reduce the number of people successfully crossing from France and to manage humanely and efficiently those that are intercepted and brought to the UK.

A key part of the department’s response is driven by the Small Boats Operational Command (SBOC), an operational directorate within Border Force. SBOC delivers this through implementing world-leading surveillance technology on air, land, and sea, developing operational initiatives with France and other near-neighbour partners, and by providing capabilities and resources to support the interception and initial processing of people arriving by small boat in the UK.

**Job description**:
The area of work at Manston is currently a high-profile Government priority and is accountable to the Home Secretary for delivery. Manston is a Short-Term Holding Facility (STHF) and is operated by a service provider. This is a fast paced and high-profile area of work and is one of the Home Office strategic priorities, seeking to prevent and disrupt the threat from illegal migration and organised immigration crime.

This is a very exciting opportunity to work in a fast paced and varied role. Due to the work we do and where we do it, Border Force teams can operate in sometimes difficult and dynamic environments. These are public facing law enforcement roles where the work is often fast-paced and changeable.

As a Use of Force Support Officer, you will be working to the Higher Executive Officer who is responsible for ensuring the effective management of the Manston contractor accreditation and the monitoring and reporting of Use of Force of Detention Custody Officers at Manston. This role is critical to providing and ensuring effective compliance processes across Manston Site Ops which are fit for purpose. Your work may also include liaising with Operational Assurance teams, Immigration Enforcement Detention Services Team and Small Boats Operational Command (SBOC) Landside Operations.

Whilst the work is focused on Use of Force, you may be asked to work across SBOC, including Manston workstreams (contracted, security and maintenance services). Your support will be significant in strengthening existing capabilities to oversee operations to disrupt Channel Crossings, save lives at sea and ensure the safe and secure processing of arrivals in the UK.

You will also be expected to be flexible in approach in responding to emerging priorities, whilst providing operational cover and resilience.

**Person specification**:
You will be required to:

- Supporting the senior lead by ensuring there is a robust process surrounding Use of Force. This could include, but not limited to; escalating issues; data collection and collation; providing reports.
- Supporting the senior lead in developing and maintaining, governance of Use of Force.
- Working alongside contractors (and wider internal collaboration) to support the management of the Use of Force process (ensuring best practice across Manston; data collating and reporting; quality assurance; arranging and attending Use of Force meetings).
- Establish and maintain excellent working relationships with key partners - custodial providers, healthcare providers, other Home Office teams and relevant local stakeholders.
- Where necessary deploy to other parts of the Small Boats Operational Command, (and Manston) which may include frontline operational work if appropriately trained. It will mainly be Manston and Dover locations dependant on business needs, but could on occasion be elsewhere within the UK for work related to SBOC on an as and when required basis.
- Working collaboratively and maintaining an excellent working relationship with key partners - custodial provider; other Home Office teams; and relevant local stakeholders, to ensure a 'whole centre' approach to the operation of Manston and care of those in detention, including working within the Manston Site Management Room.
