Job description

**Senior Policy Adviser in the Criminal Law Team**

**SEO**

**Victims, Vulnerabilities & Criminal Law Directorate**

The Victims, Vulnerabilities and Criminal Law Directorate is recruiting for one permanent SEO policy adviser. 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**:
1. 102 Petty France, London
2. 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**

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is one of the largest government departments, employing over 90,000 people (including those in the Probation Service), 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 (V,V&CL) are recruiting for one senior policy adviser in the Criminal Law Policy team.
The directorate sits at the heart of MoJ’s policy agenda. We work closely with Ministers, No10, the Crown Prosecution Service, as well as a wide range of other Whitehall departments, to tackle a range of complex issues.

**Senior Policy Adviser in the Criminal Law Policy Team**

The Criminal Law Policy team is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the criminal law and managing its development. It is also responsible for certain specified criminal offences, and within the team there are three sub-teams covering violent offences, sexual offences and non-violent offences. This role will sit within the violent offences team, though members of this team are expected to be flexible and adapt according to demand across the criminal law portfolio. The role of this team is to advise ministers and other Government departments on proposed changes to the criminal law, to protect the integrity of the criminal law and to ensure that the law is effective and clear.
