Company

The Ministry of Justice is one of the largest UK government departments with a challenging agenda to transform the justice system, delivering better services, with less money and ensuring that resources are focused on areas where they’re of greatest value.

At the MoJ we do justice through analysis. We are dedicated to improving justice outcomes through the innovative use of data and analysis. 

Our high-quality data services help ensure that a wide range of operational decisions from policy to strategy, are supported by robust analytical evidence. Our work impacts everything from prisoner rehabilitation to the country’s recovery from Covid-19, more humane divorce proceedings to the diversity of the judiciary.

This is a working environment that empowers our employees to make excellent analytical, informative decisions. Using creative tools, techniques, and insightful collaboration, we have placed evidence at the heart of the justice system.

Our 500-strong, multi-disciplinary team sits at the very core of the MoJ, supporting each other and finding our expertise more and more in demand with every passing day. We are made up of social researchers, economists, operational researchers, statisticians, data engineers, and data scientists as well as strategists and assurance experts. We’re looking for a wide range of individuals with strong analytical skills at all levels across all these key fields.

As a government department, we pride ourselves on making a true difference for society’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. 

Our strategic direction and insights-based evidence, challenges policy and ignites conversations with Ministers across government.
