**Job summary**:
HMRC is the UK’s tax, payments and customs authority and we have a vital purpose: we collect the money that pays for the UK’s public services and help families and individuals with targeted financial support.

Covert Operations, Digital Exploitation (CODE) sits within HMRC’s wider Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) responsible for the department’s civil and criminal investigation work. FIS ensures that HMRC has an effective approach to taking on the most serious tax evasion and fraud.

Working across Law Enforcement and government, CODE provides investigative tools and covert techniques to front-line investigations and works with key partners to develop and provide access to new technology and systems to enable investigators to respond to serious and complex tax evasion and crime.

This role sits within a Branch of CODE called Covert Operations.

**Job description**:
This is an exciting opportunity to lead on a new Specialist Surveillance Unit within Covert Operations. The Unit will have national coverage but will be split between two locations, one in Gillingham, Kent the other in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

This is a field role and successful applicants, once trained, will be working in the operational field throughout the UK.

As a Higher Surveillance Officer you will be expected to line manage up to 7 members of staff.

This role is initially offered on a two-year fixed term appointment with the potential to secure permanent employment with HMRC.

- Supporting specialist technical surveillance deployments, working alongside tactical surveillance personnel.
- Working with other Law Enforcement partners such as the National Crime Agency and Police forces.
- The role involves supporting HMRC operations nationally, which will require regular travel and nights away. The role necessitates working unsocial hours, being on-call, frequent short notice duty changes and additional hours, for which a Level 2 Flexibility Payment is paid.
- Providing line management support and guidance to up to 7 members of staff.
- Dynamic decision making whilst deployed on surveillance and commanding a team to achieve the operational objectives.
