Description

Advert

Do you have an enquiring mind, excellent communications skills and a positive team work ethic? Are you resilient and composed when working under pressure with competing demands? If so, Kent County Council is currently recruiting someone like you to join the Kent & Medway Coroner Service Team as Coroner's Investigation Officer.

As a Coroner's Investigation Officer you will work under judicial direction of the Coroner, within statutory frameworks, national and local policy and procedural guidelines to provide sufficient evidence to enable coroners to fulfil their judicial function.

This will require you to use your initiative to make all relevant enquiries surrounding the circumstances of deaths of unknown cause, violent death, and deaths in state detention.

You will have experience in a coroner's office or in nursing, paramedicine, biomedical, or another investigative role.

This crucial and challenging role is primarily office based in Maidstone; however the ability to travel across a wide geographical area in a timely and flexible manner at various times of the day is essential as you will be required to attend mortuaries for identifications and forensic post-mortems and may occasionally be required to access other sites such as courts and exceptionally a scene of death, which may be outside of normal working hours.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position.

The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.

The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
