**Job description**

This is an exciting opportunity to work as a Communication Data Investigator (SPoC) as part of the North Wales Police and Cheshire Constabulary Collaboration, servicing a wide-range of criminal investigations and dynamic incidents across both Forces by acquiring and exploiting Communications Data.

Salary - SO2 - £38,754 - £40,893

You will be working in a busy team in a challenging but rewarding role where you will play an important part in protecting and safeguarding individuals, including providing vital assistance in urgent life at risk scenarios.

The Unit has adopted a 24/7 shift pattern to manage the demand and deliver an enhanced service. The current working pattern follows a ‘4 on 4 off’ pattern of 2 days shifts followed by 2 night shifts. As such the position attracts the full 20% Shift allowance in addition to a weekend enhancement.

The position is designated as Hybrid which means working from home is permitted. Regular attendance to Cheshire Constabulary HQ with occasional travel to North Wales Police HQ will be required for training requirements as well as operational purposes so it is anticipated that staff will be resident within a reasonable distance of North Wales and/or Cheshire estate and be willing and able to travel to either location.

Due to demand and shortages within the Unit preference is for SPoCs who have already attained accreditation.
- The SPOC is responsible for decision making in ‘Life in Immediate Risk’ situations. This requires a high level of sound judgement in pressurised circumstances. A proven ability to assimilate and disseminate information with speed and more importantly accuracy.
- Proven relevant experience in an analytical/investigator role working with communications data
- Due to demand and shortages within the Unit preference is for SPoCs who have already attained accreditation.
