Fraud Investigation Officer

6 months ago

Glasgow, United Kingdom Social Security Scotland Full time

Overview:
Are you experienced in foot and mobile surveillance in the context of criminal investigations? Are you keen to further develop your skills in a role where you can help safeguard vital resources for the people of Scotland who need them? If so, we would really like to hear from you.

Everyone in Scotland should have the support they need to live their life and we believe they should be able to get it when and where they need it. That’s why Social Security Scotland has been built around the people of Scotland. However, as fraud is unfortunately a known risk in the benefits being devolved, an appropriate and proportionate response has been established.

While our strategy is to design out opportunities for fraud through preventative measures where possible, there remains the possibility that it will still occur. To respond to this, we have implemented Counter Fraud functions, including the use of covert tactics, to detect fraud and recover any associated loss.

**What do we offer you?**
- Access to our flexible working system with potential to accrue up to four additional days’ leave in a four-week period.
- Minimum five weeks’ annual leave (pro rata) in addition to 11.5 public and privilege holidays.
- Full and comprehensive training, and access to learning and development opportunities to support your personal and professional growth.
- Career progression - join a developing organisation with excellent opportunities for career advancement.
- Attractive Civil Service pension (employer contributions 28.97%).
- Workplace adjustments for everyone who needs them to ensure your comfort and safety in your new role.
- Health and wellbeing support including 24-hour access to our Employee Assistance Programme, plus counselling support available for all.

**Hybrid Working**

We embrace a hybrid working style where all colleagues will spend time in our offices. Due to the nature of this role, it is a full-time post and you will be expected to work a minimum of 3-4 days per week from your assigned base location of 220 High Street, Glasgow. As this role will be Scotland-wide, it may also require occasional overnight stays and out-of-hours working, including weekends and public holidays.

**About Us**

Social Security Scotland is an Executive Agency of the Scottish Government. Our benefits help people from all walks of life in Scotland. We are committed to recruiting a diverse workforce that is representative of the clients we serve.
