East Suffolk Council is an exciting place to work, delivering essential local services and making a real difference to a quarter of a million people across East Suffolk.

We currently have an opportunity to join East Suffolk Council's Port Health team as an Intelligence Officer, working in the Port of Felixstowe.

This is an exciting opportunity to help protect public and animal health by tackling illegal imports, supporting enforcement activity, and developing intelligence-led ways of working across one of the UK’s busiest ports.

The successful candidate will work closely with Port Health Officers, Official Veterinarians and other partner agencies to identify risks, analyse intelligence, and support operational activity linked to illegal trade and non-compliant imports.

As Intelligence Officer, you will lead on developing and managing intelligence activity within Port Health.

You will identify trends, risks, and emerging threats linked to illegal imports and organised non-compliance, helping operational teams target inspections and enforcement activity effectively.

The role will support both day-to-day operational decision-making and longer-term strategic planning, helping ensure Port Health remains intelligence-led, resilient, and prepared for emerging threats at the border.

You will also play a key role in building strong relationships with partner agencies and ensuring intelligence is handled lawfully, professionally, and securely.

Ensure intelligence is handled in line with legal and information governance requirements
Produce intelligence briefings and reports for operational teams and senior managers
Support operational planning, tasking meetings, and post-operation reviews
Help develop intelligence procedures, policies, and working practices
Promote an intelligence-led culture across Port Health
Support incident response and high-risk operational activity
Contribute to funding opportunities, business cases, and intelligence-related projects

What you will need

Essential:

Experience working in intelligence, enforcement, investigations, compliance, border control, or a similar field
Experience analysing information and identifying trends or risks
Strong communication and report-writing skills
Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
Experience building strong working relationships with partners and stakeholders
Good IT and data management skills
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Experience handling intelligence in an operational environment
Knowledge of local government or border control operations
Experience developing intelligence-led programmes of work
Experience working with partner agencies
