About us

Our roles support our service users and colleagues within HMCTS, where people and businesses access potentially life-changing justice. We’re looking for individuals who are committed to public service and making a difference in people’s lives to deliver justice. If you are interested in developing a career with a real purpose, please apply.
Your role
You will be based in the Crown Court and provide support to the Jury. This is a predominantly customer facing role, which includes public speaking in a court setting. You will have regular contact with court users, including members of the Judiciary and the legal profession.
Alongside your public facing duties, you will be assigned to teams to carry out a variety of general administrative duties to progress cases through the court system or provide administrative support to other functions within HMCTS.
Working as part of a flexible team, you will be expected to undertake a range of the functions and responsibilities specified.
Key Responsibilities include:
• Assisting court users, supporting listing and rota management, checking files
• Processing and calculating Jury Expenses and dealing with any related enquiries
• To work as a team to problem solve and contribute to small projects
• Collecting and Assembling Information
• To deliver a helpful, prompt, polite and “right first time” service to all court users
Your skills and experience
With a friendly and approachable manner, you’ll have good written and verbal communication skills with a desire to deliver proactive and effective support to customers by phone and email. You’ll be skilled in organising your time, prioritising efficiently, able to multi-task and adapt to using various software packages. You’ll enjoy working in a busy environment and helping court users navigate the justice system.

Please make sure that you include your current duties and responsibilities in your CV.
Further details:
These operational roles are customer facing, requiring successful applicants to be office based to provide HMCTS services to the public.
Standard full time working hours are 37 hours per week. HMCTS welcomes part-time, flexible and job-sharing working patterns, where they meet the demands of the role and business needs and are agreed prior to appointment. All applications for part-time, flexible and job-sharing working patterns will be considered in accordance with the MoJ’s Flexible Working policy.
Applications for part-time working would be considered, however, due to the nature of the role the successful candidate must be able to work a minimum of 3 full working days per week, which must include Mondays.
Skilled Worker Visa
From 4 April 2024, the Government increased the salary threshold for Skilled Worker visas. The starting salary for this role falls below the general salary threshold for sponsorship.
The Department cannot consider sponsoring you for this role unless you have held a Skilled Worker visa continuously since before 4 April 2024, you qualify for relevant tradeable points, or you meet other criteria where a lower salary can be considered. Therefore, if you believe you meet the eligibility criteria (in whatever way possible) and you have received a provisional job offer, please raise this during your vetting checks.
If you are applying for this role and you do not meet the new eligibility criteria for sponsorship, you will need to consider your options for obtaining and/or maintaining your right to work in the UK in light of these changes. Successful applicants must ensure they have and maintain the legal right to live and work in the Civil Service and in the United Kingdom.
The Department will continue to comply with UK Immigration Rules applied in the UK and Civil Service. Please go to www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa for more information.
