We are one of ten Local Authorities selected to take part in a national 6-month Home Office pilot. This project will test the viability of multi-agency oversight for referrals that do not meet the Prevent threshold but still present a risk of serious violence or show a concerning interest in mass violence.

We are seeking an experienced and confident professional to lead on the delivery of this project.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead the coordination and delivery of the pilot within the local area

  • Develop and maintain strong multi-agency partnerships

  • Oversee referrals and assess risk in relation to serious violence and extremism

  • Provide professional insight and guidance in multi-agency settings

  • Monitor, report and contribute to national learning from the pilot

Requirements:

  • Significant experience in managing serious violence, Prevent, and safeguarding concerns

  • Proven ability to lead and influence in a multi-agency environment

  • Strong knowledge of current legislation and policy in relation to Prevent and public protection

  • Excellent communication, analytical, and organisational skills

This is a high-profile opportunity to shape national policy and practice in a key area of public protection. If you have the expertise and leadership skills required, we’d like to hear from you.
