- Maintaining accurate, complete and up-to-date case records and databases.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:
- A genuine interest in public protection and delivering a high-quality service.
- Strong organisational and administrative skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Experience working with large volumes of information and maintaining accuracy under pressure.
