The Role
We are recruiting Investigators to be part of the newly established Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR). We are looking for Investigators with a range of skills, backgrounds, and experience gained through professional investigations.
The end-to-end journey of an investigation is all about the people who will eventually benefit from information recovery. At every stage requesting individuals or families must be able to understand what is happening and what progress is being made. A key difference to the Commission’s approach is that a request must be made before the Commission can carry out its investigations. These requests can include specific questions that the requesting individual or family wish to see addressed during the investigative work. We will seek answers to requesting individuals questions by examining all existing material, including that which might not have been disclosed or made public during any previous fact-finding.
The post sits within the Investigations Directorate in the Commission. Headed by the Commissioner for Investigations, Peter Sheridan, you will form part of the Directorate’s Investigations team, reporting to one of the Commission’s Team Supervisors. You will be working across multiple cases and reporting to different Senior Investigative Officers. The Directorate will be multi-disciplinary with a mix of backgrounds and skills and team members will be expected to work together to set a new and unique culture reflecting the Commission’s mission and values.
