About the Company
The Ministry of Justice offers a range of benefits, including annual leave, pension, training, networks, and support, as well as paid paternity, adoption and maternity leave, and free annual sight tests for employees who use computer screens.
Job Description
Our justice system faces serious challenges, from rising demand and staff shortages to siloed systems and inconsistent access. AI presents an opportunity to address these problems at scale. But this opportunity must be seized with care. The Justice AI Unit is a small, fast-moving and innovative team. We build and ship products quickly across the Ministry of Justice. By embedding AI that enhances, not replaces, human judgement, we aim to deliver better outcomes, faster services, and greater fairness for all.
Requirements
- Develop high-impact AI products, models and agents that will be widely used across the Ministry of Justice
- Work directly in the field (e.g., courts, prisons, probation) to understand user needs, operational challenges and co-build with users
- Own end-to-end delivery: from identifying the problem, building the product, deploying it, and scaling adoption
