About the Crown Prosecution Service
At the Crown Prosecution Service, we are responsible for delivering justice through the independent and effective prosecution of crime. As the principal prosecuting authority across England and Wales, the nature and diversity of cases we advise on and prosecute means our work is often emotionally challenging and complex. As such we employ over 7,000 individuals who think objectively, act professionally, show the upmost respect for others and continually strive for excellence.
About the role
As a Senior Crown Prosecutor in the Extradition Unit, you undertake advocacy in Westminster Magistrates’ Court in relation to all cases pursuant to the Extradition Act 2003, in relation to requests from Part 1 and Part 2 requesting countries. You analyse, review, and prepare cases relating to Part 1 requests, including responding to applications for permission to appeal.
