Job Description
A long-established crime prevention organisation, working nationally in partnership with the UK Police Service, is seeking a technically competent Development Officer to drive growth and retention in a respected product accreditation and membership scheme. This position plays a vital role in ensuring companies across sectors meet robust crime prevention standards and deliver tangible impact through secure design.
The Development Officer will take ownership of promoting, managing and expanding membership of businesses that meet the Police Preferred Specification and Secure Connected Device accreditation. Working independently and remotely, you will guide companies through the licensing and standards compliance process, offering expertise on security-related certification and testing.
This role contributes to measurable licensing targets and involves working closely with prospective and current members to help them understand and maintain the requirements of accredited crime prevention standards. You'll support businesses in achieving necessary technical benchmarks while ensuring data and membership records are accurately maintained through Salesforce.
A significant aspect of this role involves communicating technical information to diverse audiences. You will represent the organisation at industry forums, deliver bespoke presentations to stakeholders including police, developers and government bodies, and promote secure design through conferences and exhibitions across the UK and the EU.
You will also contribute to wider strategic initiatives including legislative advocacy, planning consultations, marketing campaigns and the ongoing development of security-related guidance materials. Your ability to interpret, articulate and advocate for crime prevention standards will be essential in influencing change and supporting sustainable community safety.
Success in this role will require a high level of understanding of the Secured by Design initiative, strong familiarity with standards such as PAS 24, LPS 1175, STS 202, BS 6375 and associated performance benchmarks for fire, smoke control and electronic access control systems. You will maintain relationships with testing and certification bodies, contribute to technical publications, and act as a knowledge resource within a wider network of Designing Out Crime Officers and external stakeholders.
