Their work includes acting on and investigating complaints as well as proactively monitoring and taking action against misleading, harmful, or offensive ads. 

They are seeking applications from enthusiastic candidates to join them. In the Investigations Executive role, you will lead investigations into whether ads are misleading, offensive, or irresponsible. 

Investigations Executives manage a varied caseload of investigations that cover a wide range of issues in TV, radio, print, poster, and online ads. You will consider whether claims made in ads are misleading and assess evidence provided by advertisers in support of them. You will also investigate issues relating to sensitive and high-profile areas such as gambling, alcohol, ads addressed to children, and those which make reference to protected characteristics such as race and gender.

You might also find yourself involved in or running a project that looks at a particular issue more widely. The role provides an opportunity for you to make a real impact by helping to protect consumers from misleading or irresponsible ads. 

The ability to evaluate complex information is an essential part of the role. You will also need to present your assessment of a case clearly and succinctly in writing and orally to internal and external stakeholders, so strong communication skills are vital.

They welcome applications from all sections of the community, and we're committed to being a diverse and inclusive organisation, both so they can represent everyone in the UK and so their own colleagues feel at home at work. 

They will provide all the training you need on the advertising rules themselves to enable you to assess whether ads comply with them. So, whatever your background if you're excited about the role we'd love to hear from you.

About the Bureau

The Bureau is the UK’s largest independent non-profit investigative journalism organisation. In the last year, our investigations were published in more than 100 countries across local, national, international, specialist, TV, and digital platforms – and sparked change around the world. Our four global investigative teams work with reporters around the world on priority cross-border issues – environment, health, corruption, and big tech. In addition, our UK-focused Bureau Local team uses an innovative community-led approach to cover issues like insecure work, migrant rights, and family courts, amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities. Founded in 2010, we’ve grown from a small group of journalists to a diverse team delivering hard-hitting investigations that have prompted inquiries, sparked legal challenges, and informed policy change in the UK and across the world.

About the project

The Bureau has a history of innovation, ambition, and going beyond the headline. We are committed to supporting citizenship, a thriving democratic space,e and most crucially empowerment through journalism. Working in partnership with Bradford Community Broadcasting and alongside other key community stakeholders, we plan to develop a Storytelling hub - a creative ecology around storytelling that uniquely combines training and education with a focus on developing a sense of self and voice as well as storytelling skills, building media trust and most crucially for the public interest journalism environment, developing a pipeline for community investigations.

A recent scoping exercise highlighted a strong desire among Bradford’s underrepresented communities for greater media representation, storytelling opportunities, and access to training. These findings have shaped the hub’s vision, ensuring it directly addresses local needs.

The StoryHub would offer more than just technical media skills - it would promote citizenship, improve confidence, and self-esteem and crucially drive greater civic engagement.

This is your chance to be part of a truly exciting and innovative project, launching during Bradford’s year as the UK City of Culture. The Storytelling Hub will form a vital part of the city’s cultural celebration, amplifying voices and stories from its diverse communities and creating a lasting legacy.

About the role

The successful candidate will value journalism for the public good and the importance of diverse and inclusive community building for story impact. This is a new, pilot role at the Bureau, helping us think about community engagement, transparency, and collaboration in journalism.

The community organiser will help develop workshops around accountability and an understanding of public decision-making and bring down barriers to full civic engagement. This would be via a series of listening sessions, skills-based workshops, and the development of story ideas.

Please bear in mind: you do not need to tick every box in this advert to apply for the role. But we are looking out for the following skills and experience:

• Share learnings from our experiments and work with the Bureau and the wider sector
• Keep abreast of research and innovation in community-based journalism internationally and incorporate learnings into our work

• A confident communicator and writer

• Great communicator and facilitator - whether speaking in small groups or at big events
