    Trainee Legal Adviser

    The role of the legal adviser is vital to the smooth running of HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) and is a highly rewarding position within our organisation.

    You'll be surrounded by learning opportunities every day, so if you have a passion for law, this could be the right role for you.

    You've passed the academic stage of qualification to become a barrister or solicitor in England or Wales, or you're a graduate member of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.

    And now you're ready to take your career to the next level and make a positive difference to society and the communities we live in.

    Right now, we're looking for trainee legal advisers to join our exceptional legal team and develop the skills to provide magistrates with advice on points of law, practice and procedure, and assist with the formulation and drafting of the reasons behind their judgments.

    Learn new legal skills as you develop your career

    When you join us as a trainee legal adviser, you'll quickly discover that this isn't your normal 9 to 5 role, as no two days are the same.

    You'll learn new skills every day as you work at pace in a fast-moving, fluid environment, and help to keep the courts running smoothly and efficiently.

    Working on everything from minor motoring offences to serious crimes, you'll be supported and mentored throughout your two-year training period.

    Once you've completed this, you'll then have the opportunity to further develop your legal career within HMCTS.

    Rather than acting for a client you'll be offering impartial and objective legal advice, so you'll need to be passionate about the law and the issues that must be considered when magistrates are delivering judgments and sentences.

    Helping to conduct case management hearings will be another key part of your role, as will liaising with outside agencies who are involved in specialist court work.

    Apply all your skills as you increase your knowledge of the law

    In addition to your academic qualifications and excellent communication skills, you'll be committed to increasing and maintaining your knowledge of the law.

    Important decisions will be made, and these can have a profound effect on the people who come to court, so you'll be confident, impartial and capable of considering a wide range of risks and implications.

    Flexible and adaptable, and with a high degree of personal responsibility, there are times when you'll be faced with challenging situations.

    This is an office based/court based frontline role.

    You'll be expected to spend the duration of your training at your agreed base location to fulfil the demands of the training and the business needs in that location.

    We will be holding Microsoft Teams Meet and Engage sessions on the following dates and times: The job holder must be able to fulfil all spoken aspects of the role with confidence in English or (when specified in Wales) Welsh.

    At the time of application you must be in the process of completing or have completed and passed the academic stage of qualification to become a barrister in England and Wales, or a solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales, or a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX) or CILEX Lawyer by virtue of
    (The Legal Practice Course (LPC) for Solicitors, or BOTH the SQE1 and SQE2 stages of the Solicitors Qualifying Exam; The Bar Training Course; The CILEx Level 3 Professional Diploma in Law and Practice and the CILEx Level 6 Diploma in Law and Practice; The CILEx Graduate Fast Track Diploma; or equivalent for Graduate Membership of CILEx.

    You can apply for this role whilst you are completing the final academic stage of qualification but must be able to evidence your final certification at the point of an offer being made, to be able to proceed to appointment.

    Additional Information It is really important to visit a Magistrates' court prior to submitting you application in order to better familiarise yourself with the role and the work of a legal adviser in Magistrates' Court.

    each case is considered on an individual basis and all relevant convictions are taken into account. The MoJ offers Hybrid Working arrangements where business need allows.

    This is an informal, non-contractual form of flexible working that blends working from your base location, different MoJ sites and / or from home (please be aware that this role can only be worked in the UK and not overseas).

    All employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in an office, subject to local estate capacity.
