**Role Summary**
The Private Secretary to the Senior President of Tribunals (SPT) is a key leadership role within the Judicial Office. The office holder is an advocate for, and representative of, the SPT, both internally with other senior judiciary and their private offices and externally across a wide range of Whitehall departments. The postholder will be responsible for ensuring that the private office of the SPT provides high quality policy and legal advice and support to the SPT and the Tribunals Judicial Executive Board (TJEB).
The role involves maintaining an overview of developments in tribunals and building strong relationships with peers and senior stakeholders across the justice system, including His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service, the Ministry of Justice, other government departments, and in the devolved systems in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
**The role of the Senior President of Tribunals**
- The SPT is the independent and statutory leader of the tribunal judiciary. The office of the SPT is independent of both the Executive and the Chief Justices and was established under the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.
- Just as the Lady Chief Justice heads the judiciary in England and Wales, the SPT heads the tribunals judiciary, although his remit extends to Scotland and Northern Ireland depending on the jurisdiction concerned.
- The SPT provides leadership for all those within the First-tier and Upper Tribunals and the Employment Tribunals. This includes all the Chamber Presidents and their Tribunal Judges and members, as well as those within Employment Tribunals in England and Wales and their Scottish counterpart, and the Employment Appeal Tribunal - in all, around 5,000 officeholders.

The Judicial Office is the organisation that supports the Lady Chief Justice (LCJ) in delivering her wide range of functions as the Head of the Judiciary. It is a unique branch of the civil service, reporting direct to the LCJ. The Judicial Office consists of approx. 500 staff working across five directorates. The post holder will be part of the private office directorate, working to the deputy director, Head of Judicial Private Offices.

The Private Office provides policy and legal advice, and general secretariat and administrative support to the Senior President, and to the most senior tribunals’ judges (including Chamber and Tribunal Presidents) across the United Kingdom, and secretariat to the Administrative Justice Council.
**Main activities/responsibilities**:
The SPT will look to his Private Secretary for handling and providing advice on the highest profile and most sensitive issues of the day; and for commissioning, w appropriate, high-quality advice from the wider Judicial Office to support him. The role requires the ability to work at pace and under pressure, to anticipate urgent and important issues, to adapt to rapidly changing events, and to be able to represent effectively the SPT at the most senior levels of the judiciary and civil service.
The postholder will be required to provide high quality written and oral advice to the SPT and senior judiciary (Senior Judiciary - Courts and Tribunals Judiciary), overall leadership of the SPT’s private office team and represent the position of the SPT confidently and effectively to senior officials within the JO and across Whitehall and operational partner agencies with counterparts in relevant private offices.
