**We are recruiting Investigation Officers in a range of locations, including remote. Both full time and part time roles are available.**

We receive thousands of reports every year raising allegations of misconduct and regulatory breaches against those we regulate.

Investigation Officers in our Assessment and Early Resolution (AERT) consider these reports first and decide whether the SRA should investigate further. They make enquiries and gather any further information we need for our analysis, identify any potential breach of our rules and prioritise high risk matters. They then consider the strength and quality of the evidence so far and whether the matter is capable of being evidenced. Sometimes Investigation Officers can guide the firm/solicitor to become compliant or change their processes for the future. Taking everything into account, AERT Investigation Officers make a decision to close the matter or pass it on further for a full investigation. The work is high volume and fast paced and Investigation Officers need a keen eye for detail and an analytical and curious mindset as every case is different.

Matters assessed as serious are passed to our investigation teams. Investigation Officers in this team manage a caseload of varying complexity, across a multitude of legal areas. They will analyse detailed information to get to the heart of the matter, and identify and promptly obtain evidence, including witness statements. They will resolve cases through constructive engagement or enforcement action. You can read more about our approach to enforcement here.

We are recruiting Investigation Officers for both AERT and our investigation teams.

Delivering a positive customer experience is at the heart of what we do. Providing an efficient, high quality and customer-focused service, keeping complainants updated and delivering outcomes verbally and in writing is expected of all our Investigation Officers.

**What we are looking for**
- Comparable experience of managing cases or undertaking investigations.
- Significant experience of drafting complex documents or letters to a high, professional standard and engaging with customers via the telephone, building rapport and managing contact.
- Effective case management skills with the ability to prioritise competing demands and work to stretching targets.
- A strong mindset and track record for delivering a positive experience for a diverse range of customers and stakeholders both internal and external.

Applications are welcome from a wide range of experience and expertise including those with experience of working in the legal profession, other regulators, casework or investigation roles.

**What's in it for you?**
- Protect the Public and enforce high professional standards by engaging with regulated firms and individuals as well as members of the Public
- Variety of case holding. No one case is the same.
- Work collaboratively with other areas of our organisation such as the Legal and Enforcement, Authorisation, Intelligence and Forensic Investigation teams
- A rolling in-depth training program where you can develop and refine your analysis and investigation skills

There are opportunities to develop your career and progress within the department, either in an enhanced investigation role or in a management capacity. We have specialised investigation teams that focus on the most complex and high-profile matters, and when there is a need to intervene into the practice of a firm.

**Useful and additional information**

There is a Role Profile, Information Pack, and ‘Day in the life of’ an Investigation Officer for both teams attached at the bottom of the advert on our website.

**Location**:
**To apply**

Assessments will take place from 4 June.

Interviews will take place from 20 June to 4 July.
- The SRA is the independent regulator of solicitors and law firms in England and Wales, protecting consumers and supporting the rule of law and the administration of justice. We do this by overseeing all education and training requirements necessary to practise as a solicitor, licensing individuals and firms to practise, setting the standards of the profession and regulating and enforcing compliance against these standards.
We offer an inclusive, supportive and friendly working environment and the chance to develop your career within a professional organisation. We are committed to the health and wellbeing of staff, helping everyone to strike a good balance between personal and professional life.
Additionally, we provide a generous flexible benefits package, including gym membership with a tax only cost,
