About the job

Job summary

As an Assessment Analyst, you will be welcomed into a dynamic and inclusive team working to critically analyse material gathered, preparing summaries and assessments and effectively communicating decisions and making recommendations as to the level of involvement the IOPC will have on cases referred by Appropriate Authorities.

Job description

The Assessment Function is organised into teams comprising of Senior Assessment Managers and Assessment Analysts. The team works as part of the wider assessments function, which includes administration support for the IOPC and the Customer Contact Centre, which provides advice and guidance to complainants, appropriate authorities and other stakeholders. It 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, regardless of if a complaint is made. Assessment Analysts review the information provided and make a recommendation to the Senior Assessment Manager with regards to the mode of investigation. This recommendation may also include proposing relevant lines of enquiry.

Assessment Analysts may also make decisions on discontinuance applications from Appropriate Authorities and 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, discontinuance applications, appeals and withdrawals, information may be received through correspondence, via telephone, e-mail, or through interviews with individuals who approach the organisation directly.

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.
