Job summary

The Criminal Cases Review Commission has a unique statutory role in independently reviewing such cases and deciding whether there is a real possibility that a conviction or sentence would not be upheld by the appeal courts.

Following the recent HMCPSI inspection of the CCRCs casework, the Group Leader role is central to improving the quality, consistency and timeliness of reviews. We are looking for leaders who can provide clear direction, constructive challenge and proportionate assurance so that Case Review Managers focus on the right issues and produce well reasoned recommendations.

We have six casework groups. Each Group Leader manages one group of around eight Case Review Managers (CRMs), each of whom holds a challenging case portfolio. The Group Leader is responsible for leading people, overseeing portfolios and supporting improvement across the organisation. Group Leaders are accountable to the Head of Casework Operations for their groups performance and for maintaining high standards across the team.

Case reviews vary significantly in complexity and may require analysis of trial and appeal material, applications, public body records, expert evidence, legal advice, investigative enquiries and sensitive stakeholder communications. The Group Leader helps ensure that reviews are properly scoped, planned and progressed.

This is a leadership role with a strong first-line assurance function. This includes scrutinising proposed lines of enquiry, making sure that all reasonable lines are followed, challenging unnecessary or unfocused work, ensuring requests for material are justified, and helping CRMs identify when legal, investigative, forensic or specialist input is needed. Group Leaders set expectations for casework quality, provide early case direction, challenge case plans where appropriate, monitor progress, identify drift and support CRMs to make sound, timely recommendations for Commissioners to consider.

You will need to be confident analysing complex information, exercising impartial judgement and giving clear, constructive feedback. You will also need to create a supportive environment in which staff feel able to seek advice, discuss risk, learn from quality assurance findings and continuously improve their casework practice.
You will set the tone for how the group works with applicants and stakeholders, including victims of crime and agencies across the criminal justice system. You will advise on complex cases and work with Case Review Managers and Commissioners to support fair, well-reasoned outcomes.

Group Leaders thereby contribute to:

fulfilling the CCRCs purpose of finding, investigating and referring suspected miscarriages of justice; and
