Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom Ministry of Justice Full time

Usher/Admin Assistant - Nottingham Magistrates Court

£20,126

Nottingham:

Job Title:
Usher-Admin Assistant**
Pay Grade: AA

Background and key purpose of the role


This is a role which balances both Usher and clerical duties equally allowing you to work where needed, being an essential first point of contact for all the court users involved in hearings as an Usher whilst providing excellent general administrative support to the various teams within HMCTS.

There will be regular contact with the judiciary, assisting the administrative staff with the smooth flow of court work.

You will meet members of the public and their legal representatives; prepare court /hearing rooms, and complete documentation, as well as ensuring the court runs smoothly and efficiently.


Although many of the tasks are straightforward, regulated by well-established guidelines and/or detailed instructions, you will need to be prepared to react quickly and professionally to situations, some of which may be unexpected.

You will be comfortable in dealing sensitively and professionally with people from all walks of life; many of whom may be vulnerable and under stress.

Advice and support is readily available and there is little discretion to depart from standard procedures, which may well require you to take a firm stance when those procedures are not understood or welcomed by a court user.

You will work within a team with regular management support.


Whilst initially you will be allocated to a specific court or office base, there will be a need for flexibility to work on an ad hoc basis at other courthouses and local HMCTS offices.


Key responsibilities may include:

Administration

  • Collecting and delivering files and bundles to the judiciary and clerks ensuring they have the necessary papers
