About the Opportunity
Our aim within the Prosecution Hub is to ensure the effective management of criminal and traffic related cases at the point of receipt from operational Officers through to finalisation, and to support Victims and Witnesses to navigate through the Criminal Justice System as smoothly as possible while working together with partners and other agencies.
Working closely with Officers, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Courts, the Prosecution Hub strives to provide an efficient and effective process to ensure the best outcome for Victims and Witnesses. Following point of charge a crime file is assigned to a caseworker who becomes a single point of contact for both Officers and agencies. In addition to making sure files comply with the National File Standard, the caseworker also assists Officers in dealing with queries in relation to case files during progression of the case, and processes queries from injured parties, witnesses and defendants.
