Frontline Digital Forensic Technician (FTC/Secondment)

The Role

This position involves conducting frontline triage of digital exhibits to determine the appropriate investigative pathway for each case. The work requires early examination of devices and materials, some of which may be distressing in nature, while maintaining accurate contemporaneous records and managing a personal caseload with minimal supervision.

Skills & Experience

Candidates should have practical knowledge of computer hardware and software, strong numeracy and literacy skills, and a background in digital forensics either through direct experience, a forensic capacity role, or a relevant degree. Good communication skills and the ability to travel across force locations are essential.

Who It Suits

This role suits a self-motivated digital forensics practitioner who thrives in an operational environment and is comfortable handling sensitive material. It would appeal equally to an experienced technician seeking a fixed-term opportunity and to a recent graduate eager to contribute to a publicly funded forensic investigation unit undergoing significant transformation.
