The government has launched the recruitment process for the
Independent Reviewer of the Prevent programme.
The Independent Review of Prevent will look at the
effectiveness of the government’s strategy to protect
vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism. It will
also make recommendations for the future.
Security Minister said:
Prevent gives vulnerable people the support they need to
protect them from terrorist recruiters.
We are always looking at how we can make the programme
more effective, which is why we are committed to this
Independent Review.
I look forward to the appointment of the Reviewer so they
can get on with their vital work.
The appointment of the next reviewer will be through a full
and open competition. This will involve an advisory
assessment panel, with an independent chair, that will
review the applications and interview shortlisted
candidates.
Applications for this post will be open until 11pm on 22
June.
You can find out how to apply on the HM government public
appointments website.
The government has adapted the recruitment process around
the UK’s coronavirus restrictions while ensuring a fair and
open competition. This includes planning for remote
interviews.
