Introduction:
Recent events and the developing role of CHASE OT in supporting DFID activity in humanitarian and development contexts have resulted in an increased requirement for timely and appropriate security advice and Risk Management.The expansion of CHASE OT’s remit to support the deployment of Stabilisation Response Teams (SRTs) will increase the joint HMG risk-assessment and security management requirement. CHASE OT must be positioned to offer timely and accurate advice in dynamic security environments to support increased numbers of deployed UK Government individuals or teams.Crown Agents, under the provisions of its contract with DFID, will provide two full-time security advisers. This will provide sufficient dedicated security advice to augment existing internal expertise and provide increased flexibility when dealing with dynamically changing security environments. The role will include planning and reactive risk management in a wide variety of fluid security environments.

Background:
The primary objective is to increase the capacity of the CHASE OT Humanitarian Preparedness and Response Team to provide appropriate Risk Assessment and Security to deployed CHASE OT staff, consultants, contractors and HMG staff deployed as part of a CHASE OT managed response. This will include locations where there is no established HMG security architecture.CHASE OT is responsible for the rapid deployment of properly prepared civilian staff in support of DFID’s humanitarian efforts overseas. The team deploys and manages staff on behalf of HMG to a wide range of remote and potentially hostile environments, following natural disasters or conflict.

The provision of timely advice across concurrent multiple deployments requires that the adviser is located with CHASE OT; currently in Palace Street, London.

CHASE OT is required to deliver an exemplary standard of Duty of Care to its own staff, contractors and consultants on behalf of Crown Agents.
