* Strong IT confidence (Teams and Microsoft packages) and willingness to learn quickly

* Clear, professional communication with the public, judiciary, jurors and legal professionals

* Initiative, a team-player mindset, and attention to detail

* Ability to remain helpful under pressure and follow processes accurately

Additional information:

* No previous experience required-this role is open to people new to the environment

* One lift is available; mobility issues may make the role unsuitable due to access limitations

If you're ready to start ASAP and bring a calm, customer-focused approach to a vital public service, apply now. You'll be supported and trained to succeed in a team that values reliability and communication.
