Duration: Permanent
Salary: London (within M25): £37,174 - £40,403
Location: Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London, WC2A 2LL
Background
Based within the Queens Building in the main Royal Courts of Justice estate, this is a busy court that deals with both complex and sensitive family and medical matters including Forced Marriage, Female Genital Mutilation, Public and Private Law cases, High Value Financial Remedy, Child Abduction, Court of Protection matters and appeals. The President is the head of the Family Division and sits alongside 20 High Court Judges who sit both at the Royal Courts of Justice and on Circuit outside of London.
Due to the time sensitive nature of the work that is heard within the Court, we often sit Courts throughout the traditional vacation period.
The increasing volume of appeal work in High Court Family has opened an opportunity for a senior caseworker to lead the work of the appeals team and oversee the provision of high-quality casework to the judiciary.
Role Purpose
This is an exciting new opportunity for a senior caseworker to work within the High Court Family Division appeals team, to provide pro-active case management in relation to applications for permission to appeal to ensure that cases are managed both effectively and expeditiously.
The post holder will work closely with the appeals team, lawyers and judges and will need to demonstrate a high level of initiative. The ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders at a senior level and with court users, including litigants in person, is essential.
Senior caseworkers are expected to act as role models and undertake leadership functions, which may include line management of small team.
