About The Role We are recruiting a Senior Reports and Findings Officer to be part of the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR), as part of the Reports and Findings Team, reporting to the Deputy Director of Reports and Findings. The role comes at an important time as the Commission transitions to become the Legacy Commission. In this role you will work as part of a dedicated team working to the Director and Deputy Director of Reports and Findings, to support the Chief Commissioner (and the Independent Panel of Judges when the ICRIR becomes the Legacy Commission) to discharge their statutory duty to produce and publish reports. The Reports and Findings Team is responsible for testing and analysing the evidence at the conclusion of each investigation, making findings, and writing reports that record those findings consistently in the Commission's style. The team also manages the statutory representations process. You will manage up to five Reports and Findings Officers and up to three Reports and Findings Assistants. You will need to ensure that you and your team quickly build a strong understanding of the policies and processes involved in testing the evidence and outcome of each investigation, making findings, and ensuring that all reports record these consistently in the house style. Your team will need to maintain rigorous independence while establishing strong working relationships with other teams from across the Commission including the General Counsel Directorate, Investigations Directorate (e.g., investigations, case support, and support and TRIM colleagues) to ensure that requesting individuals and families are updated on progress and involved as appropriate at each stage. You will be responsible for operating robust processes to ensure the Commission meets all statutory requirements including safeguarding, handling sensitive information, and seeking representations from those entitled to receive draft material or reports ahead of publication. You will also need to ensure that appropriate arrangements for publication are made for each report and that the requesting individual or family is able to understand the outcome of their case. This is a challenging and rewarding role. We are seeking a committed and experienced leader with a keen eye for detail who can work in a trauma-informed way. You will need to be objective and able to use sound judgment and knowledge to analyse high volumes of evidence to produce quality written reports. You will need clarity of thought with a strong ability to analyse and use evidence to evaluate options before arriving at well-reasoned, justifiable decisions and recommendations. You will thrive in a culture of continuous learning and improvement, based on feedback and honest self-assessment. Reports are the product on which the Commission will be judged and closely scrutinised. In this role you will ensure, together with the team, that they are produced to a very high standard, deliver real value to requesting individuals or families, and support the Commission's principal objective of promoting reconciliation. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and value the diversity of experience and perspective that this brings. Key Responsibilities Provide outstanding leadership and direction to your team who will be primarily responsible for making findings and drafting reports in individual cases. Make independent, robust determinations and findings which decide between different accounts or theories of events through challenging, considering and weighing the evidence on its merits, and support / coach your team to do the same. Write credible, high-quality reports which record findings in individual cases, and agree these with the Director of Reports and Findings for approval by the Chief Commissioner. Supervise, mentor and peer review to ensure the same quality of report drafting from other team members. Confidently challenge evidence and materials identified throughout the course of investigations and use your judgement to recommend when further investigations should be carried out and/or where further input from subject matter experts should be sought. Help develop and ensure compliance with policies, procedures, and guidance within your team, including managing conflicts of interest, managing the disclosure of sensitive information; compliance with report-writing guidance; seeking representations in relation to draft reports; safeguarding; and the approach to publication. Meet with Requesting Individuals and families, alongside the Case Support worker, to provide updates about progress of work and ensure proper involvement in the progress of the case in line with the Commission's policies. Carry out robust internal quality checks on draft reports produced by the Reports and Findings Team. Build and maintain a close and strong relationship with the Director and Deputy Director of Reports and Findings, and through them, the Chief Commissioner. Ensure the Chief Commissioner's approach and preferences are reflected throughout your team's work. Lead your team to establish and maintain constructive, professional relationships with others across the Commission, including the Case Support Team, Information Recovery Team, General Counsel, Support and TRIM Team and Strategic Advisory colleagues. Lead and champion the development of staff, creating an inclusive environment which values diversity, encourages learning and development and identifying and acting where capabilities need to be improved. Contribute to the vision, direction and culture for the Reports and Findings Team and the Commission, including building public and organisational confidence and trust in our reports and the organisation. Person Specification Essential Criteria Strong and proven ability to understand and confidently draw out key points from multiple evidential sources, to analyse, challenge and evaluate, and reach balanced decisions set out in a clear, accessible and accurate narrative.
