In our fourth episode, our guest spent the first part of her career in a classroom and is a great example of when career changes go right.

After a successful teaching career and some advice about her job application skills from a friend, she joined counter terrorism policing in 2023.

Now she works as an intelligence assessor, which means she plays a crucial role in turning information from the public into intelligence to stop terrorist activity.

Heidi talks about how the STAR method helped her interview for a job in Counter Terrorism Policing. If you’re interested in learning more, you can find out more on gov.uk: The STAR method | National Careers Service

Could you do Heidi’s job? We are always looking for people to join our team and our mission to protect the public from terrorism.

With 43 late-stage terror attacks stopped since 2017, the need to recruit incredible people has never been greater.

You can find current vacancies here, and on your local police force website.
