Calling all digital forensics practitioners. Are you.
- fed up working on-call and doing unsociable hours?
- worrying yourself sick about challenging legal responsibilities?
- concerned about your mental health in a role where you are exposed to distressing case material and at serious risk of burnout?
And are you more than ready
- to work stable hours in a non-operational role?
- for a less stressful working environment?
- for an opportunity to remain in the digital forensics industry, supporting other practitioners?
- to undertake a role where you can remain mission-driven, deliver with purpose and support continuous learning and development in the digital forensics industry?
- to consider progressing into a role in digital forensics training?
Yes, that’s right. A move into digital forensics training with Control-F can give you everything you’re ready for, allowing you to leave behind the stresses of working on-call and the overall risks to your mental health which are inherent in a hands-on practitioner role.
The role
The Control-F Technical Trainer role offers a chance to engage with the digital forensics community, attend industry events and continue to learn with various L&D opportunities. You’ll be able to develop your own advanced specialisms through research and course creation as well as being on your feet in the classroom, influencing the next generation of forensic professionals.
You’ll be responsible for:
- delivering training course content to customers at various locations, including our classrooms at Wyboston Lakes;
- project managing course development activities across our training portfolio;
- the design and delivery of new training courses; and
- authoring, updating and maintaining our existing training course materials.
You’ll be working within a small team of experienced people who pay attention to the detail and have a “can do” customer-focused attitude as well as having your back while you find your feet.

- Previous hands-on experience as a DF practitioner;

You’ll have lots of support from an experienced team of Trainers with the ability to attend training, graduate to classroom assistant and then, on your feet and in the spotlight.
