Do you have the passion, values, and ability to help us solve the biggest problems of the justice system?
MOJ is one of the largest government departments, employing around 70,000 people (including those in the Probation Service), with a budget of approximately £9 billion. Each year, millions of people use our services across the UK - including at 500 courts and tribunals, and 133 prisons in England and Wales.

courts
prisons
probation services
attendance centers
We also work in partnership with other government departments and agencies to reform the criminal justice system, to serve the public and support the victims of crime. We are also responsible for making new laws, strengthening democracy, and safeguarding human rights.
We encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that represents the wider society that we serve. We pride ourselves on being an employer of choice. We champion diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and a sense of belonging. To find out more about how we do this
Priorities
A prison and probation service that reforms offenders
A modern courts and justice system

3. About the role
We have an CT Interventions Analytical lead role within the Counter Terrorism Assessment and Rehabilitation centre (CT-ARC) research team. This role will help ensure that CT-ARC are developing interventions, assessments and supporting processes that incorporate and are informed by the evidence. The work will include evaluation, including short-term evaluations and process evaluation, of interventions designed to help people serving sentences in prison and probation to desist from terrorist offending as well as evaluation of assessment tools. There is a need to build on this evidence in response to ongoing development of our assessments and interventions and to build capability to measure long-term outcomes. This role will involve working closely with wider CT-ARC national specialist leads who develop the interventions and assessments as well as the Quality Assurance team who consider how well our products are being implemented. You will also help carry out analysis to support meetings we have with our Correctional Services Accreditation and Advice Panel as well as other primary research.
What you’ll do
You will lead on the research and evaluation, producing evaluation plans, managing and coordinating the fieldwork and analysis to inform the product development. This is a fast paced and high-profile role which involves working closely with analytical and operational colleagues across MoJ/HMPPS. We are looking for someone who is proactive and confident in scoping and developing evaluations and analytical projects and driving them forwards. This includes quickly grasping key evaluation questions, methodological challenges and driving forward innovation to ensure that we develop the evidence base.
The role will involve developing our current data capability to produce analytically driven assessment practice in the counter terrorism space. The role will be based in a team of five analysts, a team leader and four analysts who are responsible for the day-to-day delivery of research. This will include opportunities to work across the team on key research into the terrorist cohort across the HMPPS custody and probation spaces, as well as Home Office and Counter Terrorism Police.
