Job description 1

**Job Title**:Bailiff**

**Grade: AO**

**The key purpose of the role**

Bailiffs are responsible for the enforcement of civil and possession judgements and for the service of various legal documents, such as divorce petitions and Court Orders. Bailiffs are required to travel to homes and businesses across the local and surrounding area, assess personal goods to secure payment for outstanding warrants and obtain possession of properties, where a Judge has ordered this, as well as dealing with other administrative duties.

This is a challenging role that will require the jobholder to deal with individuals who are in a vulnerable position and to solve problems by reference to comprehensive guidelines and instructions. Whilst the nature of the role means that bailiffs spend a proportion of the day working on their own, they are part of a wider team with management support to ensure that targets and standards are met.

**Essential Skills and Criteria**
- Excellent customer service skills,
- Ability to work with and learn new IT systems and devices,
- A valid driving licence

Whilst the post holder will be allocated to a specific office base, there may be a need for flexibility to work on an ad hoc basis at other local HMCTS offices.

Due to the nature of the work, there is no set working pattern, but you may be required to work some evenings and Saturday mornings as part of your working week.

**Key responsibilities**:
**Duties may include**:

- Removing goods where necessary to satisfy outstanding judgments and obtaining possession of properties where it has been so ordered.
- Completing related paperwork and accurately receipting monies received.
- Serving committal orders/warrants.
- Serving Court documents personally.
- Conveying prisoners to Court and attending in court when required.
- General administrative duties
- Processing of cash payments with regard to propriety and security of monies.
- Dealing with queries in person, by post and over the telephone.

**Other duties**

The post holder is required to work in a flexible way and undertake any other duties reasonably requested by line management which are commensurate with the grade and level of responsibility of this post.

The job holder must be able to fulfil all spoken aspects of the role with confidence in English or (when specified in Wales) Welsh.

**Mandatory Eligibility Requirements**

**Licences**
Full UK Driving license.
