Overview of JACO's Work

  2. The judicial conduct investigations process.

Complaints regarding the judicial appointments process can only be submitted by individuals who have applied for Judicial Office. Complaints about the judicial conduct investigation process can be made by both individuals who have previously complained about a Judicial Office Holder or the Judicial Office Holder (or former Judicial Office Holder) whose conduct has been assessed under the Judicial Conduct Rules.

Responsibilities of the Senior Investigating Officer

The successful candidate will lead the Investigating Team within the JACO Office and oversee more complex investigations, ensuring the quality and consistency of advice provided to the JACO.

Key Duties

  1. Leading investigations into the most complex complaints, delivering appropriate and consistent advice to the JACO, drafting reports that withstand scrutiny, and ensuring complainants are kept informed.
  2. Ensuring the consistency and appropriateness of advice provided to the JACO regarding cases reviewed by HEO Investigating Officers.
  3. Offering accurate and relevant advice to the JACO concerning annual and six-monthly reports.
  4. Providing direct line management support for 5 HEO Investigating Officers, adhering to MoJ HR policies.
  5. Promoting awareness and understanding of the JACO's role and maintaining effective business relationships with stakeholders.
