Job description 1

**Policy Advisers in the Victims and Witnesses Policy and Strategy Unit **(up to 2 posts available)**

**HEO**

**Victims and Vulnerabilities Directorate**

The Victims and Witnesses Policy and Strategy team is recruiting permanently for up to 2 HEO Policy Advisers. This campaign is being run externally and so is open to all who consider themselves suitable for the roles and meet the eligibility criteria in the wider advert within Civil Service Jobs.

**Location**:

- 102 Petty France, London
- 5 Wellington Place, Leeds

Occasional travel between the two locations may be required.

In order for Policy Group to meet its evolving business needs all Policy Group staff are expected to attend their base location (102 Petty France or 5 Wellington Place Leeds) at least 2 days a week. This hybrid working arrangement is not contractual and as a result staff could be asked to attend their base location more frequently.

**Ways of Working**

At the MoJ we believe and promote alternative ways of working, these roles are available as:

- Full-time, part-time or the option to job share
- Flexible working patterns
- Flexible working arrangements between base locations, MoJ Hubs and home.

**Salary**

New entrants to the Civil Service will be expected to join on the minimum of the pay range.

If you are already a civil servant and are successful in an external recruitment competition for a role with us, your starting pay will be the better of:

- promotion terms or transfer terms, as appropriate; or
- pay on appointment arrangements (minimum of pay range)

**The Ministry of Justice (MoJ)**

MoJ is the largest government department, employing over 90,000 people with a budget of approximately £10 billion. Each year, millions of people use our services across the UK - including at 500 courts and tribunals, and 133 prisons in England and Wales.

**The Work of Victims, Vulnerabilities and Criminal Law Directorate**

The Victims, Vulnerabilities and Criminal Law Directorate sits at the heart of MoJ’s policy agenda, working to reform complex systems that deal with some of the most vulnerable members of our society. We work closely with Ministers, the victim support sector, No10, the Senior Judiciary, as well as a wide range of other Whitehall departments, to tackle a range of complex issues. Everything the Directorate does to deliver our wide-ranging portfolio of work is uniquely focused on supporting those that need it most.

**There are up to 2 roles available in the Victims and Witnesses Policy and Strategy Unit.** The Victim and Witness Policy and Strategy Unit leads on systemic, multi-agency reform work to improve support and outcomes for victims and witnesses, to help them rebuild and recover from the impacts of crime and enable better justice outcomes. It is at the heart of the government’s focus on improving victim experience and supporting victims of crime.

The victims measures in the Bill are of wide public and political interest. The victim support sector are vocal about what change they want to see in this area, and No. 10 and Ministers have significant ambitions to improve what victims can expect from the criminal justice system.

We are a friendly, dedicated, and creative team of around 25 people, and we care deeply about being a supportive and inclusive place to work.

**1 X Policy Adviser, Victim Support Services Team**

This role will support the development and delivery of the Victims and Prisoners Bill alongside non-legislative policy proposals, supporting implementation of measures in the Bill. You will be responsible for working closely with cross-system partners and external stakeholders and developing how the policies will work in practice and ensuring that they are deliverable whilst being ambitious in what they will achieve for victims.

Responsibilities include:

- Policy development focused on a new duty aimed to increase multi-agency collaboration between groups commissioning victim support services; and/or other specific policy issues such as supporting victims of particular crimes.
- Supporting the delivery and implementation of the Victims and Prisoners Bill by working on the drafting of statutory guidance on collaboration between commissioners, working closely with other departments, the victim support sector and local commissioners.
- Supporting the delivery of a consultation on the draft guidance ahead of im
