Intelligence Development Officer

The FSA is a non-ministerial department of over 1600 people. We play a critical role in protecting public health and consumers’ wider interests in food across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our vision is an important one - to drive change, delivering “food you can trust” and working towards a healthier and more sustainable food system.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join us as an Intelligence Development Officer to support our efforts to identify, disrupt and deter criminality by working to develop intelligence received by the NFCU so that we can better act on it, and keep food safe. Gathering intelligence and co-ordinating its development in order to identify criminal offences in the food sector, you will help the organisation take action against those who seek to exploit the nation’s food and put consumers at risk. As your work will be used as evidence in criminal prosecutions, you’ll play a key role in our efforts to stop food crimes and bring perpetrators to justice.

Your expertise will be crucial in supporting our team, leveraging your background in investigation or intelligence development to assist colleagues and stakeholders within the FSA. With a sharp eye for detail and the ability to juggle multiple priorities, you'll ensure the smooth and effective achievement of our goals.

As a representative of the NFCU, which plays a unique and essential role within the FSA, you will engage persuasively with both internal and external partners to ensure our objectives are delivered. Your strong communication skills will help others access the information they need to combat food crimes in any setting.

If you are adept at working in team environments and can deliver a quality service at pace to ensure that we can better protect food in the UK, apply today for this vital and exciting role at the FSA.
