BCP Council is seeking to appoint a Coroner’s Officer to support the Coroner in the carrying out of investigative and administrative tasks in connection with the occurrence of sudden and reportable deaths within the Dorset Coroner’s area.

You will also need to comply with the Chief Coroner’s written advice and guidance.

Main responsibilities include:

- To act as a single point of contact for the bereaved as well as other interested parties and HM Coroner for Dorset
- Ensure identification of the deceased is made by making all possible enquiries of relatives, friends, police and witnesses. Obtain a full antecedent history of the deceased and pertinent evidence for any subsequent inquest or other judicial proceeding
- Liaise with HM Coroner for Dorset, uniformed officers and healthcare professionals involved in the investigation of a death to ensure full enquiries are made of any person who can assist with the investigation
- Prepare reports for and brief HM Coroner for Dorset against which the decision to hold an inquest, with or without a jury, will be made. Arrange inquests as directed by, and to the satisfaction of, HM Coroner
- Arrange for the attendance of witnesses and a jury in appropriate cases; prepare inquest papers and expenses for HM Coroner's verdict and signature. You will also be required to present information to a Coroner to open inquests in open court and present evidence at court in summary cases
- Take statements from independent witnesses and family members as necessary.

You will be required to undertake a number of administrative tasks associated with case file preparation and working as part of a team.
