What we do:

We deliver this by:

- Working with carriers around the world to reduce the threat of inadequately documented arrivals (IDAs) reaching the UK by air
- Developing intelligence packages related to the visa or air threat for subsequent criminal investigations and prosecutions
- Working with key stakeholders to train & equip them to identify, seize, investigate and disseminate intelligence on illicit commodities and the associated criminal networks
What we want from you?
- In order to meet Home Office security requirements, we need to recruit a new ILA from either the UK/US/Canada/Australia/NZ or the EU where they have a footprint in their home country.
- We need the ILA to have excellent interpersonal skills that they can use strategically to build relationships with key partners to assist Home Office International Operations in delivering their objectives. Face to face work is a fundamental part of the job, as is the delivery of training, so the successful candidate should be prepared to do public speaking.
- The role of ILA is extremely varied. The challenge with all HOIO work is to deliver both the reactive elements such as air calls and requests for support from visa section, as well as the pro-active elements such as intelligence research and liaison with stakeholders. As such, ILAs need be able to manage very challenging workloads, deliver at pace and be flexible in support of business aims. Once trained, the successful candidate should be able to work towards objectives with minimal supervision.
