Job description

**HM Courts and Tribunals Service**

**Job Title: Court Usher**

**Number of Vacancies: 10 posts**

**Location: Royal Court of Justice, The Strand**

**Grade: Administrative Assistant (AA)**

**Duration: 12 months Fixed Term Contract**

**Salary: London (within M25): £24,250**

These positions are available for external applicants as well as existing civil servants on level transfer or promotion.

**Background**:
The Court Usher acts as an essential first point of contact for all the court users involved in hearings. 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. You will also carry out some general clerical work as required to support the work of HMCTS.

Although many of the tasks are straightforward, regulated by well-established guidelines and/or detailed instructions, an Usher needs 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. Ushers work within a team with regular management support and are responsible for their own time.

**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
- Face-to-face 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

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.

**Key Responsibilities**:
**In Court Responsibilities**
- Open and closing the courtroom.
- Calling in solicitors, barristers and representatives of external agencies into the courtroom.
- Calling on cases.
- Maintain a record of hearings by recording start and finish times.

- Provide information relating to proceedings.
- Answering face to face enquiries.
- Keeping parties informed of changes e.g. of courtrooms and hearing times.
- Ensure courtrooms are cleared after hearings and are left in good order.
- Assist with ushering responsibilities at swearing in ceremonies when required.

**Administration**
- Collecting and delivering files and bundles for court hearings.
- General clerical work, including use of computers and photocopiers.
- Assist with file management and disposal.
