We are currently recruiting Investigation Support Officers in London to be part of the new established Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR). As the Commission is growing, we are recruiting for our Talent Pool and successful candidates will be merit listed for future vacancies. You will support the Commission’s investigations that are at the heart of its work and essential for its promotion of reconciliation. You will undertake a range of of evidence gathering activities and provide administrative support to the investigation teams. You will be required to attend case conference meetings, record minutes and update action logs where appropriate. This is an excellent opportunity if you are looking to start or further develop a career in investigations. Training, mentoring and support will be provided.
The end-to-end journey of an investigation is all about the people who will eventually benefit from information recovery. At every stage requesting individuals or families must be able to understand what is happening and what progress is being made. A key difference to the Commission’s approach is that a request must be made before the Commission can carry out its investigations. These requests can include specific questions that the requesting individual or family wish to see addressed during the investigative work. We will seek answers to questions by examining all existing material, including that which might not have been disclosed or made public during any previous fact-finding.
The post sits within the Investigations Directorate in the Commission. Headed by the Commissioner for Investigations, Peter Sheridan, you will report to one of the Senior Investigation Officers and work flexibly across teams. The Directorate will be multi-disciplinary with a mix of backgrounds and skills and team members will be expected to work together to set a new and unique culture reflecting the Commission’s mission and values.
We welcome the unique contribution diverse applicants bring and do not discriminate based on culture, ethnicity, race, nationality or national origin, age, sex, gender identity or expression, religion or belief, disability status, sexual orientation, educational or social background or any other factor.
