Ready for more variety, greater technical challenges and genuine career progression?

Are you an experienced Digital Forensic Analyst looking to move beyond repetitive casework and take on a broader range of complex investigations?

Perhaps you're working within a police digital forensic unit and would welcome the opportunity to apply your expertise to something different. Or maybe you're already in forensic consultancy but feel your career progression has reached a standstill.

This is an opportunity to join an established specialist digital forensic laboratory, investigating everything from criminal prosecution and defence cases to corporate and civil matters.

The Role

As a Senior Digital Forensic Analyst, you'll take ownership of complex digital investigations, examining and interpreting evidence recovered from computers and other digital devices.

With a particular emphasis on computer forensics, you'll analyse digital evidence, identify critical findings and produce clear, technically defensible reports.

You'll also contribute to technical peer reviews, support junior analysts and work alongside experienced forensic professionals on a diverse range of investigations.

What Makes This Role Different?

Varied Investigations: Exposure to criminal prosecution, defence, corporate and civil investigations. Genuine Career Progression: A structured pathway towards Principal Analyst or technical management, without waiting for vacancies to arise. Flexible Working: Flexible start and finish times, compressed hours and opportunities for early Friday finishes. Technical Development: Work on complex investigations within an established forensic laboratory. What You'll Bring

We're looking for experienced Digital Forensic Analysts, Computer Forensic Examiners or Digital Forensic Investigators from police, government or private forensic consultancy backgrounds.

Ideally, you'll have 4-5 years' practical digital forensic experience, although candidates with two years of strong, relevant experience will also be considered.

You'll have hands-on experience examining computer-based digital evidence, with the ability to manage investigations independently and produce accurate forensic reports.

Experience with tools such as X-Ways, Magnet AXIOM or Griffeye would be particularly relevant. Exposure to mobile forensic examinations using Cellebrite, XRY or GrayKey would be an advantage, but isn't essential. Previous experience working within an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory or following established forensic quality management procedures would also be beneficial.

Formal digital forensic qualifications aren't essential. We're more interested in your practical experience, technical ability and investigative mindset.

You'll also need to meet the eligibility requirements for security vetting, including a minimum of five years' UK residency.

Take the Next Step

Whether you're looking to move from law enforcement into private forensic consultancy or seeking greater variety and progression in your current field, this is an opportunity to develop your expertise within a supportive, specialist environment.
