Alongside structured career development and free e‑learning, you'll benefit from CPD opportunities in areas such as investigative practice, disclosure, safeguarding, and legislative updates.

With flexible part‑time assignments (3 days per week), you'll play a critical role in supporting investigations while maintaining a healthy work‑life balance.

• Safeguard victims, complete risk assessments, and formulate victim strategies.
• Analyse, assess, and evaluate evidence to identify offenders.
• Prepare case files, manage disclosure, and produce professional reports.
