Senior Digital Forensic Analyst

Oscar

Stratford-Upon-Avon, England

Onsite · Senior · Full-time · £37,500.00/yr - £45,000.00/yr

The Role

This is a senior evidential forensics position based full-time in a UK laboratory. Day to day, the analyst conducts mobile and computer examinations, produces court-admissible reports for criminal and civil proceedings, peer reviews junior colleagues’ casework, manages an independent caseload, and contributes to the lab’s quality management and training activities.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require strong hands-on digital forensics experience across mobile and computer platforms, solid knowledge of ACPO guidelines, ISO 17025, and the FSR Code of Practice, and the ability to produce clear written reports for non-technical audiences such as solicitors and juries. Experience in defence analysis and expert witness work is advantageous.

Who It Suits

This role suits an experienced forensic analyst ready to operate independently, take ownership of complex casework end to end, and support the development of junior team members. Someone comfortable defending their methodology under scrutiny and engaging directly with law enforcement, government, and legal sector clients will thrive here.
