- To update guidance and templates as necessary.
- To liaise with the lower courts and the Court of Appeal as necessary to facilitate effective working.
- To support the appeals team with more complex queries and provide training as necessary to ensure that routine enquiries are not passed to lawyers or judges.
- As this is a new post, a degree of flexibility will be required and the post holder must be prepared to undertake further duties as identified by line management.
