    Job description:

Background:


Good administrative staff with excellent customer service skills are vital to the effective operation of the Courts, Tribunals and other offices within HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS).

Most of the staff within HMCTS are employed in administrative roles. HMCTS embraces Lean principles and continuous improvement techniques to provide high standards of customer service.

Key Purpose:


Administrative Officers are 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.

Continuous improvement tools and techniques are used in HMCTS and so there will be opportunities to exercise discretion and initiative and continually seek to improve, within a framework of systems and processes (SOPS).

Problem solving is carried out by reference to lean techniques (e.g. problem-solving hubs) and comprehensive guidelines and instructions - complex or difficult issues are normally referred to or will involve a team leader or supervisor.

In some positions, role holders will have regular contact with court / tribunal users, including members of the Judiciary and the legal profession.

Administrative Officers work within a team with regular management support and are responsible for their own time, although there may be some opportunity to provide advice and carry out limited supervision of others.


Working as part of a flexible team, the postholder will be expected to undertake a range of the functions and responsibilities specified.

It is not intended that each post will be responsible for the full range of duties.

Operational Delivery in HMCTS:

This role is part of the Operational Delivery Profession.

Operational delivery professionals are the outward face of government, providing essential services to the public in a variety of roles.

They work in many different departments and agencies across the breadth of the UK, delivering service to customers in

  • Facetoface roles in HMCTS for example a court usher
  • Contact Centre roles in HMCTS for example call centre advisers
  • Processing roles in HMCTS for example Staff at the County Courts Money-Claims Centre and Courts and Tribunal Administration
Being part of the operational delivery profession means belonging to a cross-government community of people.

This will offer you access to information on professional standards, skills development and qualifications to help you continue to improve your development and performance and expand your career options.
