Home Office hiring Immigration Officers in Liverpool

The Home Office is currently hiring immigration officers to help deliver what the job advert calls the "solution" to "illegal immigration".

The immigration officers will be tasked with enforcing the rule of law as the Home Office sees fit. The roles, advertised on an ongoing basis, ask for no particular previous experience as successful applicants will be trained over a period of 12-18 months "to enforce immigration laws by "identifying, arresting and detaining immigration offenders".

As part of their training, successful applicants will also learn how to "conduct database checks, examine evidence, search property and people to collect evidence, and gather intelligence". The work is described as "physically and mentally demanding", with personal "resilience and genuine integrity" a necessity for the job.

In terms of pay, successful applicants will be looking at a salary of £24,883 to £31,519 per year, for the permanent and full-time roles. Successful applicants should also expect to work "unsociable hours, weekends and public holidays", as "Immigration Compliance and Enforcement Teams operate 365 days a year"

There is a "shift-working allowance" between 27% and 49% of salary as compensation for the anti-social hours. Shifts are eight-hours long.

The job advert says: "Immigration Enforcement prides itself on being an open and supportive workplace. We actively embrace diversity and promote equality of opportunity, to enable us to reflect the communities that we serve. We provide people with the opportunity to work at pace and deliver in stretching roles".

"As well as extensive training and development, we offer structured career progression. Other benefits include access to a valuable civil service pension and flexible working arrangements".
