What we do:
Immigration Enforcement International (IEI) operates to prevent illegal immigration and disrupt the organised immigration crime groups behind it, supporting both the Immigration Enforcement mission and the Home Office purpose. We have staff deployed to approximately 53 locations across the world.
We deliver this by:
Providing intelligence support to the visa operation, supporting UKVI to take an increasingly global approach to risk streaming built on the analysis of objective data and enhanced with local risk indicators
Working with carriers around the world to reduce the threat of inadequately documented arrivals (IDAs) reaching the UK by air
Developing intelligence packages related to the visa or air threat for subsequent criminal investigations and prosecutions
What we want from you
ILOs need to have excellent people skills that they can use strategically to build relationships with key partners to assist Immigration Enforcement in delivering it’s objectives.
Face to face work is a fundamental part of the job, as is the delivery of training, so the successful candidate should be prepared to do some public speaking.
The role of ILO is extremely varied. The challenge with all IEI work is to deliver both the reactive elements such as air calls and requests for support from visa section, as well as the the pro-active elements such as intelligence research and liaison with stakeholders.
As such ILOs need be able to manage very challenging workloads, deliver at pace and be flexible in support of business aims.
Once up to speed in the role the successful candidate should be able to work towards objectives with minimal supervision.
The role necessitates travel for liaison, training, site visits and meetings. Most of this can be done in a day but some overnight stays will be required.
The successful candidate will also be required to attend
training in the UK, most likely for a duration of 1-3 weeks.
Working for IEI is fantastic, as much as for the development opportunities it offers as the actual experience of delivering our objectives which can be hugely satisfying.
Above all we want you to be keen and to enjoy your work, so that you will find working for IEI as rewarding as we do.
