- Produce accurate, concise and defensible forensic reports.
- Work in alignment with ISO 17025 / FSR procedures and quality standards.
- Manage your caseload with strong organisation and attention to detail.
- Use industry‑standard tools such as FTK Imager, Cellebrite, MSAB, Magnet and others.
- Support method validation, audits, equipment checks and continuous improvement.
- Liaise with investigators and legal teams; prepare statements and attend court when required.
- Offer guidance and informal support to junior colleagues.
Experience You'll Ideally Bring
- Experience in law enforcement or an ISO 17025 / FSR‑accredited digital forensic environment.
- Strong technical capability in acquisition, imaging, analysis and reporting.
- Understanding of ISO 17025, the FSR Code, ACPO Guidelines and forensic quality principles.
- Ability to obtain and maintain relevant security clearances (e.g., SC / NPPV).
- Confidence working with sensitive or distressing material.
- Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain findings to non‑technical audiences.
- Experience providing expert witness evidence (desirable).
- Relevant degree or equivalent professional experience in digital forensics or related fields.
- Professional memberships (IACIS, ENFSI, UKFA) are welcome but not essential.
Important Requirements
- This is a fully on‑site position with no option for remote or hybrid working due to the nature of the role.
- You must be able to obtain, or already hold, the appropriate level of UK security clearance.
