The Operational Security (Op Sec) function sits within Home Office Intelligence providing specialist independent advice and support to teams within covert disciplines and overt areas of Immigration and Borders business.

**OpSy functions include**:

- Investigation of suspected legislative breaches on behalf of the HO Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) in respect of all covert powers, including RIPA (2000), Police Act (1997) and the Investigatory Powers Act (2016).

As an Operational Security Advisor you will work with the current Home Office Intelligence (HOI) OpSy’s to provide advice and support to operational colleagues across Immigration enforcement and Border Force on a variety of operational security related matters and issues. The role is varied and the breadth of issues, events, and occurrences that the OpSy is involved with is diverse, meaning whilst some functions are clearly defined, the variety of reactive issues means no two days are the same.

Op-Sec is split in terms of the provision of proactive assurance and inspection duties for accredited covert teams, and reactive work, which might include responding to an operational compromise, a legislative breach or a physical security incident or threat. Given the breadth and nature of work and the responsibilities of the department, the OpSy must be confident in their knowledge and understanding of investigatory process and powers, and must have experience of covert and sensitive tactics and legislation and knowledge of IE/BF business areas.

- A sound and demonstrable working knowledge and understanding of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA),
- Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) legislation and Police Act (part III).
- Proven experience of managing or advising in high risk law enforcement operational situations.
- Experience of working in a covert discipline or sensitive intelligence arena.
- Experience of law enforcement inve
