Why you should consider us

• Get a real taster: it’s a one-year secondment with the option to extend to two years. After the secondment, you can apply for a permanent legal role with us or perhaps consider criminal defence practice or the self-employed criminal Bar.
• Develop yourself:you might feel you need to regain your confidence, enhance your prosecutorial skills or strengthen your professional connection with the Crown Prosecution Service. You can work with experienced lawyers to gain experience and exposure to a wide range of cases - with tailored training.
• Try a range of work: depending on your experience and agreed working pattern, you could be based in a magistrates’ unit, Crown Court, or Rape and Serious Sexual Offences unit. Or you might work in a specialised unit such as our Serious Economic Organised Crime and International Directorate, or with CPS Direct, our out-of-hours service.
• Benefit from flexible working:wherever possible, we provide options for flexible working patterns such as part-time, compressed hours, or term-time only.
• Plus other Civil Service benefits:25 days annual leave allowance, 3 days volunteering leave, wellbeing support and a 28.9% contributory pension.
