UKCTAG is developing a credible, forward-thinking platform focused on Counter Terrorism, security risk, professional standards, awareness and knowledge sharing within the private security industry. We are now looking for someone to lead the development of our Content & Media Department and help turn the knowledge and experience within our organisation into meaningful, public-facing content.

🔎 WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We're looking for someone who is credible, proactive and passionate about communication and Counter Terrorism. You don't necessarily need to have held a formal "Head of Department" position before. We're more interested in your experience, ideas, leadership ability and willingness to build something. You may have experience in:
- Content creation or editorial work
- Journalism or article writing
- Podcasting or broadcasting
- Video production
- Social media and communications
- Public relations
- Public speaking or presenting
- Security communications
- Counter Terrorism or security
- Military, law enforcement or emergency services
- Managing or leading creative/media teams
Experience in private security, Counter Terrorism, the military, law enforcement, emergency services, or a closely aligned field would be advantageous. The wider Advisory Member specification also emphasises professional knowledge, strong communication, integrity and the ability to contribute meaningfully.

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're looking for someone who can think differently. Someone who can look at an issue and think: "People in our industry need to be talking about this." Someone who can turn professional knowledge and experience into useful, credible and engaging content. Someone who can build a team around them rather than trying to do everything themselves. And someone who wants to help build something that can have a genuine impact on Counter Terrorism awareness and professionalism within the private security sector.
⏱️ COMMITMENT
This is a voluntary, unpaid position. There are no fixed hours or minimum time commitment, with contributions designed to be flexible around individual availability. However, the position does require ongoing engagement and active participation within UKCTAG.
🎁 WHAT YOU'LL GET
This isn't simply an opportunity to add another title to your LinkedIn profile. You'll have the opportunity to:
- Help shape the public voice of UKCTAG.
- Build and lead a specialist Content & Media function.
- Work alongside professionals with experience across the security and CT community.
- Develop your professional profile and credibility.
- Build your network.
- Gain experience in leadership, communications and strategic development.
- Help contribute to a growing Counter Terrorism initiative.
These opportunities align with the wider benefits identified for UKCTAG Advisory Members, including professional profile development, networking and contributing to a growing initiative.
