Play a pivotal role in the heart of major investigations.

As a Reader in a Major Incident Room, you'll read, assess, and accurately mark up each document so vital evidence can be found quickly, actions can be raised, and investigations can move forward without delay. Your attention to detail will directly influence the pace and success of high-profile cases.

This role is more than processing paperwork - it's about applying investigative skill, critical thinking, and professional judgement to identify lines of enquiry, connect information, and ensure nothing is missed. You'll also coach and mentor less experienced staff, passing on the knowledge and investigative instincts that only come from years in the field.

What You'll Do

• Review and assess all case documentation, marking up for indexing and identifying investigative links
• Provide clear instructions to raise actions supporting live enquiries
• Summarise documents to assist with file preparation, list management, and disclosure under CPIA
• Work closely with investigators to maintain pace, quality, and integrity in ongoing cases
• Mentor and coach less experienced staff, sharing investigative expertise
• Help stabilise workloads, reduce backlogs, and prevent evidential errors or missed opportunities

What You'll Need

• Proven investigative background in serious or complex crime
• Experience handling, assessing, and managing sensitive documentation
• Strong understanding of CPIA disclosure obligations
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to prioritise under pressure
• Confident IT skills, including Microsoft Office
