The Role
We are recruiting Information Recovery Team Supervisors to be part of the newly established Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR).
The end-to-end journey of an investigation is all about the people who will eventually benefit from information recovery.
At every stage requesting individuals or families must be able to understand what is happening and what progress is being made. You and your team will work with the Case Support Team to ensure the Commission accepts cases it can investigate and that expectations are managed appropriately, and subsequently to ensure that requesting individuals and families are updated on progress. Your team will also present evidence to the Findings and Reports Unit so that determinations can be made for reports produced on the authority of the Chief Commissioner.
A key difference to the Commission’s approach is that a request must be made before the Commission can carry out its investigations. These requests can include specific questions that the requesting individual or family wish to see addressed during the investigative work. We will seek answers to requesting individual’s questions by examining all existing material, including that which might not have been disclosed or made public during any previous fact-finding.
You will supervise the Commission’s investigations that are at the heart of its information recovery work and essential for its promotion of reconciliation. With experience of professional or police investigations, you will bring your established investigation skills to produce robust, victim-centred investigation outcomes into Troubles/Conflict related deaths and other harmful conduct.
The post sits within the Investigations Directorate in the Commission. Headed by the Commissioner for Investigations, Peter Sheridan, you will form part of the Directorate’s senior management team, reporting to one of the Assistant
Commissioners for Investigations. The Directorate will be multi-disciplinary with a mix of backgrounds and skills and the leadership team will be expected to work together to set a new and unique culture reflecting the Commission’s mission and values.
