I am recruiting for a local authority who is looking for someone to be a part of prevent which is a part of CONTEST, the Government's counter-terrorism strategy.

The aim of Prevent is to give due regard to the need to stop people being drawn into radicalisation, stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

We do this by challenging terrorist ideology; supporting vulnerable people and supporting sectors and institutions to build resilience.


The post holder will build strong and sustainable relationships with key community organisations and support the development of a shared approach to safeguarding against radicalisation.

This will be achieved through providing safe spaces for organisations to discuss their concerns about radicalisation and share their good practice.

They will also be responsible for the administration functions across the range of forums and meetings under the Prevent umbrella.

They will also build and maintain a network of contacts within their local area to advance Prevent activity. This includes the wider local authority, police, Home Office and the Department for Education.

The post holder should have prior experience in the community sector, with good political awareness.

The post holder will require excellent oral and written communication skills and have the ability to manage competing priorities effectively.
