Our justice system defends our fundamental rights and freedoms.

It is a cornerstone of our modern society, and it must serve all those who call on it, when they call on it.

From some of the most vulnerable people in our society, to families in crisis, claimants, and commercial businesses - we have a responsibility to deliver a Justice system that is accessible to everyone and operates efficiently.

We are working to reform a Justice system that has in the past relied heavily on paper-based processes and we have now taken the first steps in being able to support a modern, digital Justice system.


Ways of working:


Non-contractual hybrid working is available, the days worked at home and in the office will be discussed and agreed by the business on appointment.
