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.
