Belfast, United Kingdom Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) Full time

The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) is an independent organisation established to provide information on Troubles-related deaths and serious injuries to families, victims, and survivors while promoting reconciliation.

From becoming operational on 1 May 2024, the Commission’s caseload continues to move at pace. This is an exciting opportunity to join an inclusive, innovative team where you will work with competing deadlines and emotionally challenging content, while delivering for the public good through this historic work.

Our values—integrity, impartiality, openness, accountability, and respect—guide our work and recruitment processes. We invite applications from people across all backgrounds to help deliver this important mission.

About the role

We are recruiting Investigators to be part of the newly established Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR). We are looking for Investigators with a range of skills, backgrounds, and experience gained through professional investigations.

The end-to-end journey of an investigation is all about the people who will eventually benefit from information recovery. At every stage requesting individuals or families must be able to understand what is happening and what progress is being made. A key difference to the Commission’s approach is that a request must be made before the Commission can carry out its investigations. These requests can include specific questions that the requesting individual or family wish to see addressed during the investigative work. We will seek answers to requesting individuals questions by examining all existing material, including that which might not have been disclosed or made public during any previous fact-finding.

The post sits within the Investigations Directorate in the Commission. Headed by the Commissioner for Investigations, Peter Sheridan, you will form part of the Directorate’s Investigations team, reporting to one of the Commission’s Team Supervisors. You will be working across multiple cases and reporting to different Senior Investigative Officers. The Directorate will be multi-disciplinary with a mix of backgrounds and skills and team members will be expected to work together to set a new and unique culture reflecting the Commission’s mission and values.


Key responsibilities/Critera


  • Undertake investigations into deaths and other incidents of serious harm which occurred during the Troubles/Conflict, utilising a range of investigative methods to achieve the appropriate outcome.
  • Identify and plan own investigative actions.
  • Working flexibly across Investigation teams.
  • Develop and implement plans and strategies to investigate serious and complex crimes.
  • Ensure all material generated by an investigation is examined in accordance with any applicable legislation and policy.
  • Respond to safeguarding concerns and manage risk in investigations.
  • Build strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Ensure that all relevant intelligence is communicated to the appropriate team.
  • Build and manage case files, including in criminal investigations where required.
  • Contribute to the development of an efficient working culture across the Commission including supporting and developing investigation support officers and by identifying opportunities for and support the exploration of new ways of working and innovation.
  • Recognising and finding different ways to achieve reconciliation and restorative justice.


We are happy to discuss the role and answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us for an informal conversation about the role and our organisation.

We welcome the unique contribution diverse applicants bring and do not discriminate based on 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.
