Independent Prevent Commissioner

Home Office • Full-time • GB • 1w ago

Do you want to play a key role in ensuring that Prevent meets its objectives as effectively as possible?

The aim of Prevent is to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Our Prevent work also extends to supporting the rehabilitation and disengagement of those already involved in terrorism.

The objectives of Prevent are:

tackling the ideological causes of terrorism
intervening early to support people susceptible to radicalisation
enabling people who have already engaged in terrorism to disengage and rehabilitate

The Independent Prevent Commissioner’s role is to provide an independent strategic oversight and review function for Prevent to ensure that it can meet its objectives as effectively as possible. The Commissioner will also provide an opportunity for the public and practitioners to raise concerns about the activity of Prevent by leading the Standards and Compliance Unit.

The Independent Prevent Commissioner will be a high profile, publicly important role. The Commissioner may need to engage with the public, invite challenge from Prevent’s critics, capture best practice, and understand the role of the Prevent programme in stopping people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

It is likely that the Commissioner’s reports will inform public policy around how counter-terrorism interacts with integration, public health, faith and communities – and how these policy areas can support counter-terrorism efforts - in the coming years. Their recommendations must be meaningful, proportionate and actionable, with the implications of their implementation rigorously considered.

In addition, Prevent naturally attracts significant attention and it is likely that the Independent Prevent Commissioner may be called upon to take part in public debates, give evidence to Parliamentary Committees and international bodies, consult with communities and comment on Prevent-related issues.

Closing date: 11pm on 17 March 2025.

We value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for all. Appointment will be made on merit following an open, fair and transparent competition.
