Summary
Proud to serve. Proud to keep justice going.
We are offering an exciting opportunity to come and join us on a temporary placement to support our services over the summer period.
About us:
HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is an agency of the Ministry of Justice and is responsible for the administration of criminal, civil and family Courts and Tribunals in England and Wales. Our roles support our Court users and colleagues within HMCTS, ensuring justice works for everyone.
Key Purpose:
We are offering an exciting opportunity to come and join us on a temporary placement to support our courts over the summer period. These roles will give you an insight into how our courts run, and you will be part of a team supporting the important work to ensure our courts and services run smoothly. Successful candidates will be assigned to teams to carry out a variety of general administrative duties to progress cases through the court/tribunal system or provide support to other functions within HMCTS.
In some positions, role holders will have regular direct contact with court / tribunal users, including members of the Judiciary, service users and the legal profession. Working within an administrative team, HMCTS will provide successful candidates with regular management support and ensure appropriate training is delivered.
Working as part of a flexible team, you will be expected to undertake a range of the responsibilities and functions specified. It is not intended that each post will be responsible for the full range of duties.
Post holders are expected to commence across June and July 2026, dependent on the deployment site. Successful candidates would be expected to work a minimum of 10 weeks of the 12-week contract, with annual leave being provided on a pro rata basis. As these placements provide business cover during peak leave periods, they do not support hybrid working and will be office based only. These roles are offered on a full-time basis only. Our full-time working hours are 37 hours per week.
Due to the short nature of the roles, these are not eligible for skilled worker sponsorship and candidates must have the appropriate right to work at the time of appointment.
Essential Skills, Knowledge and Criteria:
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• Excellent communications skills
• Strong IT, administration and organisational skills
• You must be eligible to work in the UK for the entire duration of the internship
Locational Appointment :
This Summer Intern position is based at Glasgow Tribunal Centre.
No alternative working arrangements are available, and once placements are confirmed, no location changes can be accommodated. While the post holder will be based at Glasgow Tribunal Centre, there may occasionally be a need to work at other nearby HMCTS offices.
We will hold a reserve list for 6 months. Candidates placed on the reserve list will be considered in merit order for Glasgow Tribunal Centre only. If a candidate is offered a position from the reserve list and declines, they will be removed from the reserve list for this vacancy.
There are other Summer Intern campaigns running across HMCTS regions. If you apply for more than one region, you will only be considered for one. If you progress in more than one, the Recruitment Team will contact you to confirm which region you wish to continue with, and the remaining applications will be withdrawn. Applications cannot be transferred between regions or placed into sites not listed.
Selection Process:
Due to the anticipated high volume of applications, we will be applying a lead criterion at application / sift stage. This will be based on the Experience Question.
Interviews will be held for candidates progressing from the application / sift stage. Interviews for this campaign will be conducted via video conference OR in person at a central London location.
If selected for appointment, we will try to match your selected location preference/s, but if vacancies in those do not exist, we may offer employment at alternative nearby locations.
Application:
To apply for this exciting and developmental opportunity please complete the online application form. The closing date for applications is Monday 16th March.
Applications from students in the final / penultimate year of under/post graduate study are particularly welcome as the experience will be beneficial towards your studies and likely future career aspirations.
Use of Artificial Intelligence (Al)
You must ensure that any evidence submitted as part of your application, including your Statement of Suitability and Experience Question examples, are truthful and factually accurate. Please note that plagiarism can include presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own.
Personalisation in writing your application answers is essential.
