Immigration Enforcement is responsible for enforcing the government’s immigration laws, tackling illegal migration, removing foreign national offenders and immigration offenders from the UK. It also aims to disrupt the organised criminal groups that exploit the vulnerable for their personal gain.
These are exciting, dynamic, and fast paced environments with new challenges being faced daily. By working in a specialised casework environment, you will develop and maintain knowledge on a wide range of immigration matters which is invaluable for those looking for a career across the breadth of the immigration system.
Both rewarding and challenging, these roles will provide you with the opportunity to:
- Work at the heart of Government, and be in a position to positively affect some of the challenges facing our country today
- Use and develop skills and talents to build a rewarding career
We encourage applications from people from the widest possible diversity of backgrounds, cultures and experiences. We particularly welcome applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds/women/people with disabilities/LGBT+, as they are currently under-represented in the Home Office at this grade level. Appointments will be made on merit on the basis of fair and open competition.
