About the job

Job summary

  • Are you good at analysing large amounts of information in order to make well-reasoned decisions?
  • Do you want to have a role in some of the Commission's highest profile statutory inquiries?
  • Do you want to play a part in stopping misconduct and mismanagement in charities?

You will further the Commission's role in identifying and investigating misconduct and mismanagement in the administration of charities, promoting compliance by charity trustees and promoting public trust and confidence in charities.

As an Investigator you will be responsible for contributing to the work of the Investigations Team by conducting statutory inquiries. On the highest risk and profile cases you will be working alongside, or under the supervision of a Senior Investigator. All inquiries are focused on regulatory matters where the risk of financial harm or harm to vulnerable beneficiaries is highest.

You will ensure the regulatory concerns are pursued efficiently, effectively and expediently, in accordance with the Commission's operational guidance and procedures, using the Commission's legal powers to protect charities and their assets from risk of, or ongoing, abuse.

Although predominately a case working role, the post holder will also be expected to contribute, on an ad hoc basis, to the development of investigative and wider Commission policy and to assist senior managers in achieving the Directorate's core aims.

Job description

Key Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the effective and timely delivery of assessment, inquiry and follow up casework ensuring that targets are met, and the Commission's risk framework is applied correctly. This will involve gathering, analysing and deciding when to share evidence/information/intelligence (including from open source material, on-site reviews of books and records, and interviews), then exercising some of the Commission's most significant legal powers effectively and in accordance with the legal framework (taking advice and guidance as appropriate from the Commission's Legal, Intelligence and Accountancy teams and external agencies).
  • You will be expected to model the highest standards of drafting and maintenance of case records.
  • When necessary, you will give evidence in court and/or at the Charity Tribunal.
  • Assist in the development of operational working relationships with other government departments, regulators and agencies.
  • Establish and maintain good working relationships with all Commission staff, to apply a consistent approach to cases and compliance work at an operational and corporate level.
  • Participate in project, case support work and undertake reasonable duties as required.

Person specification

Ability

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to gather information from a range of sources
  • Strong analytical skills and sound judgment to evaluate large amounts of complex information and make effective decisions
  • Sound understanding of managing risk and its application within an investigative framework

Experience

  • Conducting criminal or civil investigations or other regulatory case work.
  • Evidential information gathering and analysis/case working.

Technical

  • Operational knowledge of risk management principles, investigations legislation, practices and regulatory frameworks gained from working with, or in, the charity sector, other civil regulator or investigatory body.

Behaviours

We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

  • Making Effective Decisions
  • Communicating and Influencing
  • Delivering at Pace

Benefits

Alongside your salary of £35,086, Charity Commission contributes £9,473 towards you being a member of the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme.

This is your chance to make a contribution that really matters and to make an impact in an organisation where your voice will be heard and your hard work noticed.

We operate a flexible hybrid working policy where office attendance is combined with homeworking days dependent on role and corporate requirements.

We recognise everyone as an individual, accepting people for who they are and treating everyone fairly. We welcome the unique contribution diverse applicants bring from all backgrounds and we aim to have a workforce that represents the wider society that we serve. We champion inclusion and wellbeing, aiming to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and has a sense of belonging.

We do not discriminate on the basis of 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.

We offer access to the highly competitive Civil Service Pension Scheme (employer contributions of 27.1%), far more than in the private sector, and a flexible, family-friendly environment. Additionally, you can look forward to other great benefits via our 'Perkbox' and 'Edenred' schemes. These include everything from an interest-free season ticket loan and bicycle loan (after two months) to discounts on gym membership, cinema tickets and restaurants.

A minimum of 25 days of paid annual leave, increasing by one day per year up to a maximum of 30 days per year.
