Policy Advisor for Domestic Human Rights Team

EO

International, Rights and Constitutional Policy Directorate

The International, Rights and Constitutional Policy Directorate is recruiting permanently for an EO Policy Advisor to be based in the Domestic Human Rights Team and to provide support across all of Rights Policy Division. This campaign is being run externally and so is open to all who consider themselves suitable for the roles and meet the eligibility criteria in the wider advert within Civil Service Jobs.

Location:

Successful candidates will have the option to be based at one of the following locations:

102 Petty France, London
5 Wellington Place, Leeds

Occasional travel between the two locations may be required.

In order for Policy Group to meet its evolving business needs all Policy Group staff are expected to attend their base location (102 Petty France or 5 Wellington Place Leeds) at least 2 days a week. This hybrid working arrangement is not contractual and as a result staff could be asked to attend their base location more frequently.

Ways of Working

At the MoJ we believe and promote alternative ways of working, these roles are available as:

Full-time, part-time or the option to job share
Flexible working patterns
Flexible working arrangements between base locations, MoJ Hubs and home.

If we receive applications from more suitable candidates than we have vacancies for at this time, we may hold suitable applicants on a reserve list for 12 months, and future vacancies requiring the same skills and experience could be offered to candidates on the reserve list without a new competition.

Salary

New entrants to the Civil Service will be expected to join on the minimum of the pay range.

If you are already a civil servant and are successful in an external recruitment competition for a role with us, your starting pay will be the better of:

promotion terms or transfer terms, as appropriate; or
pay on appointment arrangements (minimum of pay range)

Work of the International, Rights and Constitutional Policy Directorate

The International, Rights and Constitutional Policy Directorate (IRCPD) is a busy directorate with a wide-ranging policy portfolio covering human rights, international justice, devolution, the Crown Dependencies, and the wider corporate functions for the MoJ’s Policy Group. We have responsibility for the international work of the department, including setting the direction and priorities for MoJ’s international work. We have responsibility for the human rights framework in the UK, and internationally in relation to our human rights obligations with the United Nations and the Council of Europe. We also have responsibility for constitutional policy, which includes managing our relationships with the Crown Dependencies and the devolved administrations.

The Rights Policy Division has policy responsibility for the UK’s human rights framework, both domestically through the Human Rights Act, and internationally through the European Convention on Human Rights, and a number United Nations conventions. The Division also oversees justice business in the Council of Europe, acting as a centre of excellence for the department.

Policy Advisor – Domestic Human Rights team

The team holds policy responsibility across Government for the UK’s domestic human rights framework under the Human Rights Act 1998, and the wider Rights Policy Division oversees several of the UK’s international human rights treaties. We work across Government to ensure that the UK’s human rights framework is fit for purpose in line with Government priorities, overseeing a coherent cross-government approach which upholds our international obligations and the constitutional principles of the UK.

The role will involve fast-paced work to meet departmental aims and deadlines, collaborating with others in the team, in wider MOJ, as well as with other government departments, in a mutually supportive and collaborative team environment. It will present an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of human rights across Government.

This role will involve providing cross-team policy and administrative support on a range of rights-related issues, feeding into briefings for senior leaders and Ministers, supporting external stakeholder engagement and communications, and potentially supporting on primary and secondary legislation.

The role will be based in the domestic human rights team but will provide surge support across other teams in the division with responsibility for wider rights activities including stakeholder engagement, and international rights treaties under the UN and the Council of Europe.
