Our tech-for-good services are used by over 200 companies, including some of the tech giants. And now you could be part of our team to help us in our mission.

We're looking for an Internet Content Analyst to join our Hotline team. You'll apply professional judgement and analytical expertise to assess and investigate reports of online child sexual abuse, received from the public, industry partners and other trusted sources, as well as proactively identifying content yourself.

Who we're looking for

You'll be a systematic, analytical individual with a considered outlook, strong computer and internet literacy, and precise attention to detail. Just as importantly, you'll understand the challenges of working in our environment. We take welfare seriously and provide a gold-standard support programme.

Due to the nature of our work, this role involves regular exposure to child sexual abuse imagery. All applicants will be subject to enhanced DBS checks prior to confirmation of employment.

£35,972.00 per annum + benefits which include generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, life assurance, private health care, cycle to work scheme. We also have on-site parking.

Hours: Full time - 35 hours per week. You will be required to view criminal material and the job is therefore office-based only, in a safe, supportive, and friendly environment on the Science Park in Cambridge. Monthly counselling is provided.
