You’ll maintain positive and effective working relationships with the judiciary, supporting agencies, and user groups, and strive for continuous improvement to improve operational efficiency. You’ll need to be familiar with work environments that are process and compliance driven and able to constructively manage complaints and complete corrective actions within set timescales.

A confident communicator, you will use your skills and abilities to effectively work and engage with all court users, lead your team and set local priorities and objectives aligned to national/regional strategies and plans.
