"I feel like we're at a turning point in our country, and my career has progressed to the point where I feel prepared for this role, and the timing seems right. Yet, I developed quite the rapport and grounded relationships with my current teams, so deciding to leave and pursue an opportunity else is a difficult yet necessary priority."

You'll want to align your example of a difficult decision you made on the job with the expectations of this role. Showcase that you are equipped to perform the duties expected of you. Consider the more challenging aspects of being a Border Force Officer, and remember that the job won't always be easy. Sometimes difficult decisions must be made, especially when deciding who you decide who to permit entering the country. As they state on their website, "Security will always be our top priority. With both data and intelligence, we have a clear picture of those wanting to enter the country. It's about blending this knowledge with the skill and intuition of our officers to make informed, swift decisions. That's how we're able to stop certain individuals or goods from crossing our borders and minimise the threat they pose."
