As an Assistant Operational Security Advisor Courtroom Risk Assessor, this role plays a vital part in ensuring the safety and security of COPFS staff operating within court environments across Scotland. With a primary focus on delivering structured courtroom risk assessments, you will identify vulnerabilities and recommend practical measures to maintain safe and secure working conditions.
Reporting to the Operational Security Advisor, you will work independently, applying professional judgement to assess risks and escalate concerns where necessary. The role involves significant travel across Scotland, engaging directly with a range of court locations and justice partners, including SCTS and Police Scotland, to support consistent security standards.
Alongside assessment activity, you will contribute to wider operational security functions such as incident response, threat management, and responding to staff concerns. You will analyse information including local crime patterns and incident data to inform your assessments, producing clear, evidence-based reports and working collaboratively with stakeholders to implement proportionate risk mitigation measures.
This is a varied and dynamic role requiring strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the confidence to manage sensitive information and challenging situations with professionalism and discretion.
If you enjoy working independently, adapting to different environments, and applying a proactive, solution-focused approach to risk and security, this role may suit you.
