Job description

Overseas Security Adviser
c£43,084 + London Location Allowance + benefits
Based London with international travel
 
In this critical role, you will travel worldwide to assess the risks from espionage, terrorism and other forms of violent attack against our staff, buildings, assets and information. You will make appropriate recommendations for protective security measures and write comprehensive reports. A key element of the role will be giving presentations and briefs on security to a wide range of people and dealing with other government departments, representatives of governments overseas and commercial businesses frequently at the most senior level. You will also provide advice to those who make and apply security policy and contribute to training courses to promote security awareness.
 
You will have had a previous career in intelligence and/or security involving overseas experience at senior level; recent operational experience in security and risk management is essential. You will be  conversant with the techniques of espionage and terrorism, intelligence assessment, modern security equipment, and protective security planning and related management issues. Proven experience in dealing with and influencing people at all levels is essential as are strong written and oral communication skills. The nature of the work means you will work largely unsupervised so strong self management and motivation skills are also essential.

You must be a British citizen, resident in the UK for at least two of the last ten years.
