The National Crime Agency (NCA) is an organisation which leads the UK’s fight to cut serious and organised crime. This includes class A drugs, child exploitation, people smuggling and human trafficking, major gun crime, fraud, cyber crime, money laundering and the corruption that organised criminals use to facilitate these crimes.
We work to imprison serious criminals, and use many other tactics to disrupt crime and keep people safe. In particular, we want to ensure crime doesn’t pay and that it’s harder to commit. We also draw on innovative new approaches to prevent crimes from happening in the first place.
We expect our Officers to work to the highest standards of behaviour in everything they do.
Our lawyers provide legal advice to all areas of the NCA. The post holders must demonstrate reliable judgement and have a sound appreciation of legal risk. The post holders should be capable of working independently within a team environment and collaboratively with colleagues both within and outside the Legal team and Agency.
The post holders will work closely with policy and operational colleagues giving clear and actionable legal advice, often in complex and urgent circumstances. The post holders will operate with a high level of autonomy and responsibility, focused upon protecting the public from the threat of serious and organised crime in accordance with the Agency’s values and the applicable legal framework.
As lawyers, the post holders are expected to represent the NCA in meetings and may perform a management function within the current legal team structure.

- to provide legal advice to the International Corruption Unit on bribery, corruption and sanctions matters. This role is a 2 year fixed term contract.
