This is a hugely important public service and our challenge is bigger than ever.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Counter Fraud and Compliance Directorate (CFCD) on a team committed to tackling fraud, encountered through our Economic and Serious Organised Crime (ESOC) team. You will be at the forefront of tackling serious and organised crimes against DWP, which often has links into wider criminality of modern slavery, human trafficking and identity fraud.

You will work across multiple law enforcement agencies, on high profile and serious fraud operations involving many suspects in multi-million-pound criminality.

Financial Investigator skills will also be used to conduct Confiscation and Civil investigations on behalf of DWP. Specialist training and support will be provided to help you attain a nationally recognised qualification within this field.

- Engage and collaborate with colleagues, law enforcement agencies and partners across DWP and Government, on joint operations into organised crime.
- Conduct formal briefings with law enforcement agencies, including senior police officers and leaders on the likely impact of operations. This includes press interest notifications and accurate and timely completion of Advanced Warning reports
- Organise and participate in arrest, search and seizure procedures in accordance with Warrant legislation and Departmental guidance
- Undertake advanced interviews under caution in accordance with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE)
- Make informed decisions, as to the appropriate legislation and powers to be used and timelines to be imposed on investigations
- Work closely with Crown Prosecution Service to develop evidence requirements. Prepare all submissions in relation to prosecution, confiscation and civil actions for court
- Carry out the role of the Disclosure Officer and be able to produce accurate Disclosure Schedules and adhere to the requirements of an Exhibits Officer as required
- Confidently use expert knowledge of the case, engage with lawyers and barristers in investigations, including understanding and progressing directions from Counsel and the Courts at pace
- Give evidence in Magistrates and/or Crown Court and manage witnesses and victims during the investigation and prosecution process
- Work with DWP colleagues to reduce and stop further benefit loss

**Responsibilities**

As an Investigator you will:

- Lead investigations at pace, with the ability to collaborate with internal/external partners
- Be flexible and positively embrace creative thinking to prosecute and disrupt criminal activity
- Have strong leadership and interpersonal skills, as some roles may have line management responsibility
- Good presentation and communication ability with excellent written/drafting skills
