Job Summary
Make a difference in this rewarding career opportunity

The Coroner is a medical/legal death investigator with primary focus on complex death investigations.

The Coroner is responsible for establishing and making public the identity of the decedent, when, where, how and by what means the decedent died.

The Coroner concludes the investigation by way of a formal public coroner's report or may preside over a formal jury at an Inquest.

In addition, the Coroner makes recommendations where appropriate to prevent future loss of life under similar circumstances.

The Coroner, under the direction of the Director, works in a challenging and time-sensitive environment, conducting investigations that may be complex or high profile in nature.

Primary activities include assuming jurisdiction in investigations initially attended by a Community Coroner, analysis of scene and medical history, and identifying necessary investigative follow-up including the need for post mortem examinations.

In some circumstances attendance at the scene of death for collection of additional information may be required.

The Coroner monitors trends to ensure that information in support of public safety is collected and disseminated in a timely manner.

He/she is a vital link to family members or next-of-kin ensuring that they are informed of investigative activities and information about the death as available.

Each investigation is concluded by a coroner's report or public inquest where the aspects of death prevention can be addressed.
