Job description 1

Proud to Serve. Proud to keep justice going.

Background
HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is an agency of the Ministry of Justice. We provide support for the legal system across England and Wales, ensuring justice works for everyone.

Our Justice system defends our fundamental rights and freedoms. It is a cornerstone of our modern society.

It protects some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, from families in crisis to claimants and commercial businesses.

We have a responsibility to deliver a Justice system that is accessible to everyone and
operates efficiently.

The role

As a Bailiff you will play a vital role working on the front line, dealing with people who are at some of the most challenging points of their lives.

If you have excellent customer service skills, prefer working away from an office, enjoy working by yourself or in a small team and like your days to be varied and flexible, then working as a bailiff may be the job for you.

To be a successful Bailiff, you will be an excellent communicator.

You need to be able to swiftly assess circumstances, adapt accordingly and be a confident leader in emotionally charged situations.

You will be able to plan your days to manage your workload but should be adaptable.

As a Bailiff you will be visiting people in their homes and businesses, you must be able to calmly explain why you are visiting and what options are available to help resolve matters.

You must be able to demonstrate empathy for court users, be non-judgmental but focussed on carrying out your role whilst fully respecting the customers that you meet.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a supportive team. Our work is varied and rewarding, attracting people from all backgrounds and walks of life.

You will receive full bailiff training which includes training on the Court Management systems and then are further supported with mentoring from an experienced member of staff whilst out in the field.

Not to be confused with private Bailiffs, this role gives you the opportunity to make a difference in HMCTS and develop your career within the Civil Service.

We give you the option of using your own car or a lease car, so a driving licence is essential.

Fuel allowances are paid.

You will receive full PPE and safety training to give you the knowledge and confidence to conduct your bailiff duties successfully.

For a full outline of tasks please see the Job Description when you apply

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