About The Position

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is seeking a Python Developer for a six-month contract, working remotely within the UK. The role is inside IR35, and applicants must be willing and eligible to undergo Security Check (SC) clearance. Candidates who already hold active SC clearance may be preferred because of the short-term nature of the assignment and the need to fill the position quickly. The postholder will develop and maintain Python-based automation for analytics and reporting, improve data pipelines and workflows, and help optimise Power BI products. The role includes identifying opportunities to reduce manual work, implementing data quality controls, managing automation initiatives from discovery through delivery, and working with technical and non-technical stakeholders. The developer will also document technical work, support knowledge transfer, and contribute to project planning and prioritisation. The CPS prosecutes criminal cases investigated by police and other investigative organisations in England and Wales, making prosecution decisions independently of the police and government. The organisation describes itself as committed to equal opportunity and an inclusive culture. The role can only be performed within the UK, not overseas.
