Requirements of the role
We are recruiting Senior Investigation Officers for our offices in Birmingham, Cardiff and London. These roles are available in our General Investigations Team.
We receive thousands of reports every year raising allegations of misconduct and regulatory breaches against those we regulate.
Matters assessed as serious are passed to our Investigation Teams. The Investigation Teams manage caseloads of varying complexity, across a multitude of legal areas. They will analyse detailed information to get to the heart of the matter and identify and promptly obtain a range of documentary evidence, including witness statements. The Investigation teams will make use of formal powers to control risk and impose sanctions where the conduct is serious, and it is in the public interest. The most serious cases will result in enforcement action being taken to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
