I’m making sure people’s digital immigration records are accurate. I’m delivering a new communication system for the emergency services.
I’m helping maintain the UK’s maritime security.
I’m speeding up passenger arrivals at UK airports.
I’m working on a project to digitise people’s immigration records.
My project ensures these are automatically kept up to date so that people who are entitled to services like health care and benefits receive them, while those who aren’t, don’t.
I lead technology projects that are big and complex. that’s a lot of responsibility, but there’s a huge community of project professionals in the Home Office, so there’s always someone to reach out to if you need help. I love my job.
I’m working to revolutionise the systems the emergency services use to communicate with each other.
These new tools will give them the information they need more quickly, wherever they’re working.
I didn’t go to university, but instead I did a range of different jobs. Along the way, I learned what I’m good at and what I enjoy.
When I joined the Home Office, I loved the fast pace and the chance to lead talented people. Since then, I’ve been promoted twice.
I have the transferable skills to succeed, and I found somewhere those could be recognised and nurtured. I’m really proud of my career so far.
I’m leading a programme to replace Border Force’s fleet of seagoing vessels. The aim is to enhance our capabilities and be ready for future technologies.
This is a complex project, and I work with economists, lawyers and commercial specialists.
If this is a band, I’m the drummer, keeping everyone on time and working together.
What drives me is wanting to deliver the right equipment to help my operational colleagues protect the country.
This is one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling programmes I’ve worked on.
I manage teams that keep the E-gates at UK airports running smoothly.
E-gates use biometric data to allow millions of passengers to enter the UK efficiently and safely.
It’s vital we avoid issues that could cause delays. I worked in the private sector previously in telecoms and health care.
The main thing that attracted me to the Home Office was the sheer size and scale of the projects and technology you get to work with.
You can really build your skills and your CV. When my job is going well, most people won’t notice.
But I’m helping deliver a service used by millions of people, and that’s really satisfying.
