Using Anonymous Recruitment

This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Our system keeps your personal information hidden until the recruiter contacts you.

Job description

Who we are: Transform Justice is a national charity working for a fair, open and compassionate justice system. We believe that evidence about what works to reduce crime and prevent reoffending should be at the heart of policy decisions and embedded into practice. 

We work to promote change by generating research and evidence to show how the system works and how it could be improved, and by influencing practitioners and politicians to make changes to the justice system. Current projects include our #FairChecks campaign for criminal records reform, our mass court observations programme CourtWatch London, and our work promoting greater use of diversion from court through our crime resolution tracker and policy advocacy.

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 

Skills and experience:

  • Demonstrable qualitative and quantitative research skills, for example using interviews, surveys, or published statistics to produce insights and recommendations 

  • Ability to communicate clearly and concisely, verbally and in writing 

  • Ability to take ownership of tasks when working remotely with little supervision, seeking advice and support when needed

  • Ability to prioritise your workload when working on a range of different projects and tasks 

  • Excellent computer skills, with knowledge and practice of Word, Excel and PowerPoint 

  • Interest in criminal justice policy issues, and a commitment to help achieve Transform Justice’s vision

Location: Remote working with regular in-person meetings in London

Contract: One year term with the potential to be renewable

Salary: £28,000 - £31,000 pa full time (pro rata if part time). There is also the opportunity for this to be a freelance role if preferred

Hours: Full time (also open to part-time 3 or 4 days a week)

Reporting to: Deputy director

Holiday/pension: 25 days FTE (pro rata if part time)

Probationary period: three months

How to apply: Please submit a CV and answer the screening questions through the CharityJob website by Saturday 4th January 2025. Interviews will take place on Tuesday 14th January and Thursday 16th January and will be conducted in person in London.

Candidates for interview will be notified by email. We are sorry that due to limited staff capacity we are not able to reply to all applicants.

Transform Justice is committed to fair recruitment and the inclusion of applicants with criminal records. This position is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. For this role, the disclosure of a criminal record is not required. 

To reduce bias in the hiring process, Transform Justice uses CharityJob’s anonymous recruitment process. This automatically replaces personal information (i.e. name and email address) with pseudonyms on CVs until we invite a candidate to interview.
