Sometimes things go wrong. At the CCRC we work to put them right.
We work in the interests of justice, and we are independent. We don’t represent the police, prosecution, court or government, and we don’t represent the person applying for a review of their case. Staying independent helps us investigate alleged miscarriages of justice objectively and impartially.
Our team come from a range of backgrounds (law, policing, forensic science, trading standards, journalism, and fire safety to name just a few) and are based throughout the UK. They work from home, using the latest IT to stay connected and to learn from and support each other.
The CCRC is committed to equality and to being an inclusive organisation. Wellbeing, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our culture, and we provide an environment where everyone is heard, valued and respected.
About the role:
Following the recent HMCPSI inspection of the CCRC’s casework, the legal team plays an important role in quality assurance by providing advice and constructive challenge to ensure the legal accuracy of CCRC casework and decisions.
We’re looking for a lawyer to join us on a permanent basis (although we can also consider secondments and loans). The role is varied and intellectually challenging. You’ll need to be analytical, articulate, resilient and proactive. You must be able to juggle competing priorities, planning your work to ensure you give reliable and practical advice.
You will be part of our legal team supporting Commissioners and Case Review Managers in the exercise of statutory powers, decision-making processes, and procedural fairness in line with public law relevant in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This includes designing and delivering a continuous learning programme that ensures colleagues are updated on key cases and new legislation through modules and resources that develop knowledge of the law and legal skills.
