Careers at the Justice AI Unit
We are a fast-moving team working at the heart of the justice system. Join us to transform the justice system.
Our Approach
The justice system presents unique and complex challenges. To make a real difference, our work is guided by these principles:
- Rapid Delivery: We ship products quickly, learning from real-world use, and adapting fast. This allows us to test hypotheses and deliver value incrementally.
- User Centric: We work directly (often in-person) with frontline users in HQ, prisons, probation services, and more, to understand their needs and co-design impactful AI solutions quickly.
- Scan, Pilot, Scale: We systematically explore new AI opportunities, rigorously pilot promising tools with real users, and quickly scale successful solutions for national system-wide impact.
- Responsible & Ethical AI: We champion safe, responsible, and ethical AI adoption, embedding principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability into everything we build to enhance, not replace, human judgment.
