About the role
We are recruiting Investigation Analysts to be part of the newly established Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR). We are looking for Investigation Analysts to work as part of the integrated investigations team. Working as part of this team, the Analyst will support the overall mission of the ICRIR to provide information to families, victims and survivors of Troubles-related deaths and serious injury, and in doing so fulfil its principal objective of promoting reconciliation.
As part of the Analysis Unit, the post holder will work under the supervision of the Senior Analyst.
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 of families must be able to understand what is happening and what progress is being made. A key difference to the Commissions 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 questions by examining all existing material, including that which might not have been disclosed or made public during and previous fact-finding.
The Analyst will have access to and become proficient in interrogating various databases and information sources utilised by the ICRIR which they will use to complete a range of analytical products.
The Investigation Analyst will also work closely with Senior Investigating Officers (SIOs) and their teams to assist in identifying and progressing possible lines of enquiry and presenting complex case data.
