The Team You’ll Join

You will join a growing team that sits at the heart of the CTP network. The Data and Analysis Pillar was established in 2019 to transform CTP’s use of data, analysis and technology. An overarching strategy for Data & Analysis has been developed under a Director. Our vision is that CTP becomes a data-centric organisation, with the right data exploitable by the whole network against any threat, utilising the best available capabilities, while maintaining legal compliance and public trust.

Working to the Head of Analysis for CT Policing, the Analysis & Research Learning & Development (L&D) Team is responsible for the development and delivery of training and professional development for the CTP Analytical Capability. The team is passionate and enthusiastic about providing a learning and development programme that meets the needs of the Analyst & Researcher community across the network.

Job Purpose

Working to the Learning and Development Lead for CT Policing, the Higher Intelligence Analyst Trainer will be responsible for the production, development and delivery of bespoke training packages to CT Intelligence Analyst and Researchers. The role will also focus on the development and implementation of defined Career Pathways to support the Professional Development of all A&R staff. There will be a requirement to work closely with partner agencies, both nationally and internationally, to ensure the CTP network is at the forefront of analytical training.

Key Tasks

The post holder will be required to do the following:

• Design and develop national training programmes for CT Analysts and Researchers (including the production of a full suite of training course materials to support delivery) in order that staff are trained in the collection and analysis (using Structured Analytic Techniques) of information and intelligence when dealing with national security policing.
• Support the development and implementation of career pathways for A&R employees within CTP, ensuring there is a clear and appropriate professional development process in place.
• Act as a role model to both the network and other national intelligence organisations and their partners in the training of analysis techniques. Develop professional knowledge of analytical and research techniques to ensure that national developments are taken account of and best practice is maintained and disseminated.
• Represent CTP on national CT analysis training matters at meetings within and outside the unit and liaise with all contacts and outside agencies in respect of analysis training activity, in order to maintain and enhance the profile of this area of work at a national level.
• Maintain relationships and liaison with UK partners such as the Cabinet Office Professional Head of Intelligence Assessment (PHIA) and international partners such as the FBI to maximise training opportunities for intelligence analysts and researchers within the CT policing network.
