As a Casework Administrator you will be welcomed into a dynamic and inclusive Administration Hub. The IOPC is on a journey to develop its culture, perspectives and ethos to support the organisation’s core outcomes and this is your opportunity to enter into the varied world of IOPC Casework, allowing you to develop your mindset and approaches to contribute to improving the police complaints system in England and Wales.

This is a demanding but interesting role covering much more than a conventional admin position. You must be able to work under pressure, with conflicting demands and expectations placed on you. The Administration Hub can be the first contact point for members of the public and other agencies in regard to Appeals/Reviews and Police Referrals, the information received into the Hub may be via telephone, e-mail or post.. The Administration Hub receives referrals about serious matters from Appropriate Authorities and Appeals or Reviews from members of the public who made a complaint and are dissatisfied with the Appropriate Authorities handling of their complaint. The Administration Hub assists the organisation in the preparation of these cases by collating and conducting a preliminary examination of the supporting information, a lot of which can be voluminous and complex, to ensure the case is ready for allocation to a relevant decision maker.

As the Administration Hub receives new work daily the work of the team you will join is fast paced and reactive.

As a member of the Casework team you will be expected to be office based at least 2 days a week - currently this is normally Tuesdays and Thursdays.
