The Assistant Solicitor will play an important role in the inquiry, working as part of the legal team to investigate the evidence and identify witnesses as well as working closely with members of the team to support the Chair in delivering the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference.
The Inquiry must be, and be seen to be, independent and impartial to maintain the confidence of the public. We will not consider applications from anyone who has worked for the Crown Office or Police Scotland.
This is a Fixed Term Appointment for 47 months.
