You will manage an assigned caseload, producing high-quality case documentation that ensures all pertinent evidence is collected and organized from various sources. This will involve direct communication with victims and witnesses of crimes.

Your collaboration with colleagues across the organization will be essential in preparing evidence in suitable formats, ensuring that cases are presented effectively for our prosecutors. You will work closely with Crown Counsel, law enforcement, defense attorneys, and other support services to guarantee the timely and accurate delivery of evidence while keeping relevant parties informed about case progress.

Potential Role Variations:

As a Case Preparer, you may be assigned to roles involving serious crimes, fatalities, and sexual offenses. Candidates should be prepared to engage in such work. Support for vicarious trauma and in-house training will be available for successful applicants.

General Duties:

  • Direct and manage investigations in collaboration with law enforcement and other agencies.
  • Adhere to protocols and policies to fulfill organizational requirements.
  • Effectively prepare cases for court proceedings.
  • Engage sensitively with victims, witnesses, and bereaved families.

  • Regularly collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including Crown Counsel and law enforcement, to facilitate case progression.
  • Analyze evidence and provide instructions to stakeholders when additional information is needed.
  • Present informed recommendations to senior legal staff based on your findings.
  • Prepare documentation in specified formats using Microsoft Office and other internal software, ensuring high standards of data management.

Note: This list is not exhaustive, and additional responsibilities may be assigned as necessary.

Candidate Profile:

The ideal candidate will be organized, motivated, and committed to enhancing the lives of Scotland's citizens through effective crime prosecution. Familiarity with court processes and case preparation, as well as knowledge of organizational systems, is essential.

Strong communication skills are vital, with the ability to adjust your approach based on your audience. You will encounter individuals who have experienced trauma and may be exposed to sensitive materials. Therefore, resilience, empathy, and compassion are crucial attributes.

In preparing evidence, you will need to demonstrate thorough analytical skills and objectivity. Confidence in decision-making and discipline in organization to meet deadlines are essential.
