Job summary:


We are looking for exceptional staff to join the UK public inquiry into the Covid-19 pandemic, to learn lessons and better protect the people of the UK.

From being announced in 2021 to full public hearings, which are underway, the Inquiry continues to move at pace and make national news.

The pandemic affected everyone in different ways.

In order to hear from those who suffered hardship and loss, and scrutinise both the decision making and impact, there is a significant amount of work to be undertaken.

We are sponsored by the Cabinet Office, however the Inquiry sits independently from the Government.
