HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is responsible for the administration of criminal, civil and family courts and tribunals in England and Wales.

Not only will your work be of crucial importance for those who use our services, you’ll be able to build a varied, challenging and rewarding career.

**About the role**

The role of a Trainee legal adviser is pivotal to the smooth running of the court. Magistrates are volunteers with no previous legal experience from the from the local community and sit on a voluntary basis. As Magistrates do not have a legal background, once trained as a legal adviser you will be required to sit in court with them to advise on legal points, practice and procedure and assist with the formulation and drafting of their reasons.

As a Trainee legal adviser, you will commence a training programme designed to enable you to act as Legal adviser to the Magistrates and District Judge (Magistrates’ Court) in accordance with legislation and the Criminal and Family Practice Directions.

When training has been completed, as a legal adviser to magistrates, you are responsible for ensuring that those attending court, whether as defendant, victim or witness are treated with humanity and respect. Good legal knowledge and the ability to communicate that clearly to magistrates and court users is vital to the courts ability to deal with cases justly. Success in the role you are considering will enable you to make a positive difference to your community and your society.

As a Trainee legal adviser, you will commence a training programme designed to enable you to act as Legal Adviser to the Magistrates and District Judge (Magistrates’ Court) in accordance with legislation and the Criminal and Family Practice Directions.

**Your experience and Skills**:
(i) having passed the necessary examinations; (example of which are listed below)

(ii) having been granted an exemption in relation to the necessary examinations (example of which are listed below) by the appropriate examining body; or

(iii) any combination of the two.

- The Bar Training Course; or equivalent for Barristers; or
- The CILEx Level 3 Professional Diploma in Law and Practice and the CILEx Level 6 Diploma in Law and Practice; or
- The CILEx Graduate Fast Track Diploma; or equivalent for Graduate Membership of CILEx.

You must hold the correct certification at the point of appointment. Applicants who cannot provide the correct documentation at the time of offer will be withdrawn from the process.

As well as providing legal advice to magistrates, you’ll be required to exercise a range of authorised judicial functions. This will draw on your sound legal skills, whilst demonstrating judicial independence, integrity and impartiality at all times.

**Your benefits with us**

After approximately one year of training, providing you achieve competence in certain areas (in line with the HMCTS Legal adviser Tier Progression Framework), you will progress to a HEO role (with the associated increase in pay). Upon successful completion of the full training and submission of your training portfolio (usually completed within two years), a Trainee legal adviser will then progress to a SEO Tier 1 Legal adviser role (with the associated increase in pay). You’ll have access to a variety of legal careers in HMCTS and beyond. As part of the Ministry of Justice, you’ll be entitled to a range of benefits including a civil service pension, flexible working arrangements, generous annual leave, childcare and travel allowances and numerous staff networks and clubs.
