Summary
Proud to serve. Proud to keep justice going.
Our Team Leaders play a critical role in helping deliver justice. This role will enable you to demonstrate and develop your leadership skills. You are responsible for making sure your team deliver excellent administrative support and customer service to service users, judiciary and management.
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 service users and colleagues within HMCTS, where people and businesses access potentially life-changing justice.
The First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) deals with applications, appeals and references relating to disputes over property and land. The Chamber consists of three divisions:
Residential Property – covers disputes that include rent increases for ‘fair’ or ‘market’ rates, leasehold disputes amongst many other matters.
Land Registration – covers disputes that include a change to the land register and applications to correct or cancel certain documents relating to registered land.
Agricultural Land & Drainage – covers disputes that include certain farming tenancies and applications in respect of certain drainage disputes between neighbours.
The Property Chamber operates across five regional centres – Birmingham, Cambridge, Havant, London and Manchester – with a dedicated team of over 100 staff. Each location handles Residential Property cases while London also manages Land Registration matters, and Manchester oversees Agricultural Land and Drainage. We have also established a new centre in Leicester, expanding our capacity in response to legislative changes and rising demand.
Now is an exciting time to join the Chamber as we are entering a transformative period. We are preparing for the implementation of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 and the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. These reforms will reshape the housing and property landscape, bringing new challenges and opportunities to the work that we do.
As the Chamber grows, we are looking for passionate individuals who are committed to public service and delivering justice that makes a real difference in people's lives. If you’re seeking a career with purpose, impact and the chance to contribute to a fairer future, we encourage you to apply and help shape the next chapter of the Chamber’s work.
Your role
Our Chamber’s role is diverse and engaging, reflecting the wide range of our service users. Our teams liaise with landlords, tenants, freeholders, leaseholders, park home residents, and site owners.
Leading your team, you’ll focus on the team’s area of work, making sure that work is prioritised and organised and your team fully skilled to meet objectives. As an effective Team Leader, you recognise the importance of the team’s overall wellbeing and can motivate your team to succeed.
You will contribute to the delivery of operational, performance and service standard targets and provide statistical data for the management team, mediators and judiciary. Your keen eye for detail and desire for continuous improvement is key to your success. Monitoring and analysing performance areas and trends, conducting ongoing reviews of procedures and work practices is essential, as is your ability to successfully recommend improvements, navigate change and manage the implementation of new initiatives and legislation.
This is a challenging and rewarding role, key to the smooth running of operational functions throughout HMCTS. We’re committed to helping you develop your leadership skills, through our HMCTS leadership offer. This provides a wide range of activities from development programmes to accessible bite-size guides to help build your ability and confidence to lead, guide and inspire others.
