Everyone in Scotland should have the support they need to live their life and we believe they should be able to get it when and where they need it. That's why Social Security Scotland is built around the people of Scotland.

However fraud is a known risk in the benefits being devolved so the agency are planning their response.

While our strategy is to design out opportunities for fraud and error through preventative measures where possible, there remains the possibility that fraud will occur. To respond to this, Social Security Scotland's counter fraud service detects and investigates fraud, taking enforcement action where appropriate.

The role offers the opportunity to contribute to the safeguarding of vital resources for the people of Scotland who need them, by leading expert teams gathering and assessing intelligence to support formal investigation action. It also allows the exciting opportunity to engage closely with project management staff, helping to influence the design of the service, testing processes and systems to shape our evolution as we move through implementation. The successful candidate will demonstrate flexibility, be comfortable in a changing environment, and enjoy working collaboratively to identify opportunities for improvements, exploring new ideas and solutions.

1. Operational experience in counter fraud or some other form of criminal investigation, ideally to include formal interviewing, statement noting, crime report collation and surveillance.
2. An ability to work collaboratively with partners, seeking opportunities to share resources, information, experience and best practice.
3. A sound approach to decision making with an ability to consider proportionality and necessity when undertaking investigation enquiries.
4. An ability to work effectively in a changing environment, demonstrating flexibility, overcoming challenges and enabling others to do so.
5. Candidates are invited to state the base location/locations they are prepared to work from. Candidates can chose 1 or up to 3 but should only choose locations suitable to be your permanent base. If you choose more than one location please put them in order of preference with most preferred location first. Your choices should be listed in the Essential Criteria 5 box on the application form. Base locations will then be allocated accordingly to successful candidates at the offer stage.
