Practice Officer (Criminal Justice)

The Centre for Justice Innovation is looking to recruit a creative, pragmatic and committed individual.

This is to help the Centre promote criminal justice reform in the UK, including championing and supporting the implementation of evidence-based specialist and problem-solving courts in the justice system.

The Practice Officer will work directly with frontline practitioners, such as probation, police, court staff and specialist 3rd sector practitioners, to test new approaches and embed evidence-led interventions.

This includes supporting the expansion of specialist and problem-solving approaches at court that seek to address the underlying issues that lead to offending. More details about the projects we deliver can be found on our website.

Amongst other responsibilities, the Practice Officer will undertake a range of tasks including

(i) designing and delivering training and practice sharing workshops;

(ii) developing briefings and toolkits that support the spread of good practice; and

(iii) identifying and convening practitioners and others who are interested in specialist and problem-solving approaches at court.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate their ability to support and influence frontline practice, motivate others and solve problems. Operational experience within the criminal justice system is essential.
