London, United Kingdom Ministry of Justice Full time

**Judicial Appointments Commission - Policy Advisor - 78421**
**£37,174 - £40,403**
**London**:
Do you want to play a key role in selecting the judges of the future? Are you

passionate about fairness and consistency, with excellent stakeholder engagement skills? If they answer is yes, you could be exactly who we’re looking for to join our dynamic policy team.

Our Policy Advisors play a pivotal role in helping us to achieve that. They work with our selection exercise teams to make sure our shortlisting and interview materials are challenging, fair and fulfil our statutory responsibilities. They use their excellent stakeholder engagement skills to advise colleagues across the organisation, and beyond, on how to implement JAC policies correctly, and even help us to develop new ones so that we can ensure that our recruitment campaigns offer a consistent and high-quality experience for all applicants.

**Main responsibilities**

While not an exhaustive list, the role of JAC Policy Advisor includes:

- Providing advice, briefing, and guidance for senior staff and JAC operational teams on selection exercise process and policy matters.
- Supporting selection exercise teams with identifying and implementing the appropriate selection tools for recruitment exercises
- Responsibility for key policy projects and the development of new policy and processes relating to the JAC selection process and selection tools.
- Ensuring that the JAC’s selection processes are fair and free from bias, working with equality and operational leads and Commissioners to meet the JAC’s statutory duties.
- Developing recruitment competency frameworks.
- Regularly reviewing and quality assuring the selection exercise process, liaising regularly with selection exercise teams to ensure best practice is understood and followed.
- Maintaining ownership of key templates and guidance relating to selection policy.
- Oversight and administration of data sharing agreements relating to probity checks with the police, HMRC and professional bodies.
- Providing support to the Senior Policy Advisors and Head of Selection Policy and wider team as required.

**Essential Criteria**
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to interact with a wide variety of internal and external audiences of varying degrees of seniority (including senior staff and judges)
- Strong relationship building skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and ability to target communications to a range of audiences.
- Experience and understanding of working to published procedures, or operational policy, in a public sector environment
- A pro-active approach to identifying opportunities for improvement.
- The ability to quickly learn to use unfamiliar software to a good standard, with appropriate training

**What we can offer you**

We offer a range of benefits including an attractive annual leave allowance, flexible and hybrid working opportunities, and choice of pension schemes. We actively encourage all staff to undertake learning and development as part of their personal objectives.

While the JAC is an independent executive non-departmental public body, we are considered an arms-length body of the Ministry of Justice and share many of the same policies, processes and terms and conditions as Civil Servants employed directly by the MoJ. This includes being part of the MoJ pay remit, enabling transferees from other government departments to retain their continuity of service and Civil Service Pension arrangements.

Though located at Clive House, Petty France, London, SW1H 9AJ JAC staff are currently working in a hybrid way with some days in the office and some days working remotely. It will be necessary for the successful postholder to work at the JAC location regularly to support business need.
