About the role:

Transform Justice is seeking a research and policy officer to play a vital role supporting its work for a better justice system. Working closely with the charity’s director and deputy director (and alongside our communications officer), you will conduct high quality research, draft policy briefings, and organise and participate in meetings and events. This role will support a range of projects including the next round of our innovative courtwatching project, and our research into victims’ experiences of the criminal justice system. You will also work closely with the director on a piece of research and policy work into the single justice procedure.

We are looking for someone inquisitive, flexible, and organised. The role is home-based using your own equipment, so you will need to be able to work on your own with minimal day-to-day supervision. The team meets regularly online and for in-person meetings in London, with the option to work together for a half day in a cafe on a weekly basis.

Main responsibilities and duties:

• Undertaking qualitative and quantitative research including phone interviews, survey design, submitting FOI requests and analysing published data
• Reviewing relevant academic evidence and policy documents and identifying what’s important for our advocacy work
• Writing, editing and proofreading reports, briefings and submissions
• Liaising with policy makers and stakeholders including organising and attending meetings and drafting correspondence
• Organising online and in person events to support Transform Justice’s advocacy work
• Supporting the CourtWatch London project including engaging with volunteers, organising and supporting the delivery of training, reviewing data collection
• Support the drafting of funding applications
• Other reasonable duties as required including administrative tasks such as generating invoices
