Building Safety Regulator
Field Intelligence Officer 

Let’s distribute intelligence responsibly. Let’s build together.

About us
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the independent regulator for work-related health and safety. Its purpose is to prevent workplace death, injury or ill health. To achieve this, HSE is responsible for setting the strategy, policy and legal framework for health and safety in Great Britain. 

Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, HSE worked closely with the Home Office and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government to support the Government’s Building Safety Programme. After the Building Safety Bill received Royal Assent in 2022, HSE formally established the Building Safety Regulator (BRS). The BRS exists to establish a more rigorous and robust regulatory framework for high-rise buildings in England. 

We want to serve as a lasting tribute to those who have lost their lives due to poor and substandard structures. We will consign these instances to the past by providing oversight of the built environment, setting standards, offering advice to industry and Government, and overseeing work to drive increased competence of professions and trades working on buildings.

The role
As Field Intelligence Officer, you will manage the distribution of assessments and intelligence and offer guidance on appropriate tactical options to uphold BSR regulatory principles. You will also be responsible for developing and evaluating tactical evidence and assessing threats, risks, harm and vulnerabilities while identifying gaps and opportunities.

Your key responsibilities will include: receiving and assessing information to disseminate to relevant parties; gathering, researching and evaluating information; identifying gaps in reports; preparing and delivering intelligence reports; adhering to legal frameworks; and making sure we implement the latest techniques and tactics by keeping up to speed with innovations in intelligence.

About you
You should hold a minimum of two A levels, or a BTEC or equivalent qualification. You will also hold or be happy to work towards Intelligence Professionalisation Programme (IPP) accreditation. 

Already familiar with how law enforcement agencies use intelligence and evidence, you will have experience using various information collection methods and gathering information from diverse sources. 

You already have experience with and understand various information management and data integrity issues, can write detailed reports, can make decisions that affect your area of work, and work well in a team.

Benefits
We offer competitive salary bands that reflect your role and position within the Civil Service. And, as a Civil Service employee, you’ll receive a range of benefits, including 25 days’ annual leave (increasing to 30 days after five years), an excellent pension scheme, flexible working patterns, family-friendly policies including up to a full year of parental leave, interest-free season-ticket loans, and dedicated health, safety and wellbeing business partners.
