Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Gartcosh, London, Warrington – to note: both roles will require regular travel to London if not based there, more significantly for DD OIC Ops. Some International travel may also be required, for both roles.


About the Role

The National Intelligence Hub is responsible for analysing, developing and disseminating intelligence for the NCA and Serious Organised Crime (SOC) system, in order to understand and articulate the threat from SOC and generate the most impactful opportunities for disruption and reduction of that threat.

Working closely with other departments, the NIH is at the heart of the NCA, analysing and exploiting all source intelligence to deliver opportunities which drive NCA and partner activity in response to the highest threats from SOC.

The NIH continually develops the intelligence picture of serious and organised crime that impacts on the UK, so we can flex law enforcement’s collective resources against the changing threats.

The NIH is currently undergoing an important review of its internal operating model and the successful incumbent would be expected to continue the leadership of this change programme.


DD NIH Responsibilities

DD NIH is responsible for:

  • Identifying the highest harm criminals from the NCA’s own sovereign collection capabilities, and from intelligence gathered from partners, for the purpose of developing actionable intelligence to generate opportunities for the NCA, and partners, to disrupt the threat from SOC in the UK.
  • Generating the operational pipeline for the following threats: Fraud, Money Laundering, Bribery & Corruption, Combating Kleptocracy, Firearms, Drug, Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, Hardened Secure Communications, Borders, Immigration Disruptions and Prisoner and Lifetime Offender Management.
  • Providing live time intelligence capability to tasked investigations within the NCA through the national network of National Targeting Centre (NTC) and Regional Intelligence Teams (RITs), and for analytical capability through the multi-threat National Tactical Analysis Unit.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
