Job summary
Do you enjoy analysing complex information and making evidence-based recommendations? The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is seeking a curious, analytical professional to join our Assessment Unit as an Assessment Analyst, supporting accountability and public confidence in policing.
What they’re looking for
- The Assessment Unit is organised into teams comprising of Senior Assessment Managers and Assessment Analysts. The Assessment Unit is often the first contact the public and other agencies have with the IOPC, therefore it is important to ensure those parties are provided an appropriate level of service.
- Appropriate Authorities have a legal obligation to refer certain matters to the IOPC. Assessment Analysts review the information provided and make a recommendation to the Senior Assessment Manager with regards to necessity to investigate and the mode of investigation. This recommendation may also include proposing relevant lines of enquiry.
- Assessment Analysts may also make recommendations on withdrawal cases whereby the Appropriate Authority has been contacted by a complainant who no longer wants to proceed with their recorded complaint or the investigation.
- When considering referrals, appeals and withdrawals, information may be received through correspondence, via telephone or e-mail.
- Assessment Analysts also provide practical advice and guidance to Appropriate Authorities. All team members will be required to exercise discretion in the course of carrying out these functions.
- Please refer to the Job Description for full role responsibilities.

You will assess complex and sensitive complaints, conduct matters and referrals involving police forces and other law enforcement agencies across England and Wales.
