Dilipkumar J. asked a question to Rasila ..
I am very interested in Data &Intelligence gathering work plus field operation duties ad I have over 15 years of PACE legislation whilst working for Zmayors Office of Poiice and Crime as an Independent Custody Visitor in addition I don't mind working as a Case file Preparation and Court Testimony presenter because I have got hands on experience of attending Mental Health Tribunal hearings and supporting my clients for appealing against their detention under the Mental Health Act 1983/2007 legislation.
on behalf of Rasila as original has not posted. Thank you for sharing your background and experience. You have clearly built up a wealth of relevant knowledge and skills over the years, particularly through your work as an Independent Custody Visitor with the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime and your involvement in Mental Health Tribunal hearings.
Your experience of working with PACE legislation, reviewing evidence, supporting vulnerable individuals, preparing documentation and presenting information in formal hearing settings would be highly transferable to a range of Civil Service roles. The skills you've developed in information gathering, analysis, decision-making, stakeholder engagement and working within legislative frameworks are valued across many operational and investigative professions.
I would encourage you to keep an eye on the Civil Service Jobs website and explore vacancies that align with your interests in intelligence, investigations, operational delivery and casework. Be sure to review the job descriptions and success profiles carefully, as they'll provide a clear indication of the skills and experience being sought.
Whilst I'm happy to share general advice, I'm not part of FIS (Fraud Investigation Service), so I'm not able to comment on specific FIS recruitment campaigns or requirements. However, based on what you've described, you certainly have experience that could be relevant to a number of Civil Service roles.
When applying, focus on demonstrating how you've gathered and assessed information, applied legislation, prepared and presented cases, and worked effectively with a wide range of people. These are all strong examples of experience that recruitment panels will be interested in.
I wish you the very best with your applications. It sounds like you've developed a unique combination of operational, legal and advocacy experience that could be a real asset in the right Civil Service role.
Dear Ms Bal K, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such thoughtful and valuable advice. I truly appreciate your guidance regarding Civil Service career pathways, and I am grateful for the clarity you provided around how my experience aligns with operational, investigative and intelligence‑focused roles. In addition to my work with the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime as an Independent Custody Visitor, and my involvement in Mental Health Tribunal hearings, I have also worked in the Civil Service for over 18 years with the Health and Safety Executive and the Department of Employment/Jobcentre. During that time, I supported field consultant groups, recruitment activities, job advertising, CV assessment, candidate interviews and administrative casework. These experiences have strengthened my skills in information gathering, analysis, stakeholder engagement and working within legislative frameworks. Thank you once again for your support and encouragement. I am sincerely grateful for your time and guidance. Kind regards, Dilipkumar Khimji Jethwa
