Case Review Manager

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:

Responsibilities:

1. Analyse and investigate suspected miscarriages of justice.
2. Manage a demanding portfolio of complex criminal cases.
3. Draft reasoned recommendations on whether to refer a case for a fresh appeal.
4. Interview applicants and witnesses or instruct experts in various forensic and scientific disciplines.
5. Stay updated on emerging developments in criminal law.

Qualifications:

The role is intellectually challenging. Case Review Managers need to be analytical, articulate, resilient and proactive. You must be able to juggle competing priorities, planning your work to ensure each case is investigated properly and takes no longer than reasonably necessary to reach a reliable conclusion.

In return, we offer you a unique and independent perspective on the criminal justice system and criminal cases.
