The post holder will work with a high degree of autonomy, while remaining part of a supportive and experienced anti-crime team.

•Develop, co-ordinate and undertake proactive work (mandatory, local and ad-hoc) to detect cases of potential fraud, bribery and corruption, and/or deter and prevent security breaches utilising appropriate intelligence and IT facilities, particularly where system weaknesses have been identified.

•Undertake work to create and maintain an anti-crime culture, by establishing a baseline awareness and by proactively developing and delivering appropriate presentations and publicity material, including details of ongoing and completed work, to raise anti-crime awareness and reinforce the message that fraud, bribery and corruption and security breaches are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The use of local and national media should be considered for publicising successful criminal prosecutions (after taking appropriate advice from NHS Counter Fraud Authority).

•Undertake professional investigation of appropriate cases of suspected fraud, bribery and corruption and/or security breaches including production of case files and evidence in appropriate formats.
