Experience and knowledge of housing fraud is desirable.

**Requirements**:
1. Extensive experience of working in an investigative environment, including undertaking interviews, obtaining and preparing reports and materials for disciplinary or Court hearings, and in accordance with strict guidelines and procedures.

2. Excellent written and verbal communication skills with facilitation and presentation experience.

3. Experience of building relationships and working with senior managers and other key stakeholders, with the ability to show courage and integrity when challenged on investigation findings.

4. Numeracy skills, including the ability to analyse, interpret and clearly present detailed and complex data.

5. Knowledge of the legislation, regulations and current issues affecting the investigation of fraud, including the requirements of the Fraud Act 2006, Police and Criminal Evidence Act, Prevention of Social Housing Fraud Act 2013, Human Rights Act, Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, Theft Acts, and relevant Data Protection and Social Security legislation.

6. An Investigation qualification such as Accredited Counter Fraud Specialist, PINS, FOCUS, BTEC, CIPFA Investigative Practice or equivalent.

**Desirable**:
1. Understanding of public sector organisations, ideally local government, and the issues currently facing the sector, including the major fraud risks.

2. Accreditation as a Financial Investigator under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
