The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has an extensive property portfolio that spans the capital. As Health & Safety (H&S) Accommodation Manager, you’ll represent Special Operations (SO) and Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) and act as the key point of contact for MPS Property Services when it comes to building issues.
Whatever the building and wherever the location, you’ll support H&S compliance through corporate standards, SLAs, and policies and procedures. In addition, you’ll connect with Met Property Services for all building-related issues ranging from locker audits to occupancy monitoring.
It’s a chance to take on a wide-ranging role where you’ll support building/accommodation moves and changes, occupancy, decommissioning, decanting and general building-related matters. However, you must be adept at interacting and negotiating with a broad range of stakeholders. You’ll represent the views of SO/CTP HQ on issues such as MPS Estates Strategy and Asset Management Plan, so you’ll need to be persuasive and collaborative.
To earn the trust of your contacts, you’ll need a background in Facilities and Resource Management so you can prioritise, manage expectations, generate solutions and project credibility. A good understanding of business support services provision, H&S legislation and building-related services is just as important. And naturally, you’ll need a talent for clear communication to guide business decisions, manage H&S in the workplace, cement stakeholder relationships and deliver improvements.
In return, you can expect a competitive salary, a Civil Service pension, excellent career and professional development, plus a highly rewarding role.
Vetting
This post requires access to the most sensitive intelligence material on a daily basis. Applicants must hold or be prepared to undergo National Security Vetting (NSV) Security Check (enhanced) (SC(e)) level before taking up the post; with a willingness to undergo Developed Vetting (DV) once in post, if required.
Additionally, this material is of particular sensitivity to the UK and its distribution must be restricted to UK nationals. In approved circumstances dual nationals (of which one element is British) may also be granted access. However, in the event that potential conflicts of interest cannot be managed the post holder will not be able to see the intelligence material and will not be able to perform their duties. For the purpose of safeguarding national security and in line with Cabinet Office Policy, supported by Section 82(2) to (4) of the Police Reform Act (2002), applicants who do not hold or acquire Security Check (enhanced) (SC(e)) or Developed Vetting (DV) clearance and meet the nationality requirements cannot be offered the post.
All appointments are subject to the post holder satisfying the highest levels of security clearance at the time of appointment and for the duration of the secondment agreement. Failure to achieve such clearance or removal of such clearance will result in termination of the secondment agreement and the post holder will be returned to their Home Force/Home Organisation. This does not affect your statutory right.
