• Leading evidence based projects and multi agency operations to tackle emerging threats; briefing internal teams and partner agencies to secure joint delivery.
• Monitoring and evaluating the impact of crime prevention projects; providing recommendations to refine and improve outcomes.
• Working with partners to identify vulnerabilities in systems and providing suggestions for mitigation.
• Producing and delivering high quality awareness materials, presentations and reports for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring prevention messages remain current and evidence based.
• Reviewing crime methodologies and data trends to develop and implement strategies that disrupt criminality and minimise community risk.
• Providing safeguarding support and tailored advice to victims at risk of repeat victimisation, ensuring timely intervention and protection.
• Keeping up to date with knowledge of national strategies, fraud legislation and digital asset regulation, applying this to shape project delivery and stakeholder engagement.

Essential Qualifications

• Stakeholder engagement skills, including the ability to build and influence relationships with victims, communities and businesses, as well as internal and external partners quickly to reduce crime and prevent re victimisation.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to brief diverse stakeholders and deliver high quality reports and presentations.
• Ability to review crime methodologies and data to identify trends, risks and prevention opportunities; summarising varied data sources in an accurate, concise way and presenting findings to support decision making.
