The North West Regional Organised Crime Unit
A collaborative multi-agency covert response to tackle serious and organised crime across the North West Region.
About the Role
A year after Baroness Casey's landmark National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, policing continues to drive transformational change in how vulnerable children are protected and offenders are brought to justice. As an Intelligence Development Officer within the TOEX Programme, you will play a pivotal role in supporting Operation Beaconport, the national policing response to group-based child sexual exploitation, helping to turn complex intelligence and data into insight that informs investigations, drives safeguarding, and shapes the response to organised exploitation.
About the Organisation
The NWROCU leads the policing response across the region posed by serious and organised crime in Cumbria, Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and North Wales. The NWROCU provides the vital link from national capabilities and expertise to local policing and knowledge, enabling the North West region to deliver the Government’s serious and organised Crime strategy and to protect communities from harm.
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.
