Overview of the role:
The Judicial Office

The Judicial Office (JO) reports to, and is accountable, to the Lady Chief Justice and was established in 2006 to provide support to her and to the wider judiciary following the Constitutional Reform Act 2005.

In addition, we support, and are accountable to, the Senior President of Tribunals, whose responsibilities extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The JO is an interesting and unique place to work. Everything we do is in support of upholding the independence and impartiality of the judiciary.

We work closely with HM Courts & Tribunal Service (HMCTS), the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and others across Government as well as with the legal professions.

Overview of Judicial HR

Judicial Office Human Resources (JOHR) places Judicial Office Holders (JOH) at the centre of our service, ensuring we are visible, proactive as well as responsive, and that we collaborate with colleagues across the Judicial Office, and beyond to ensure we provide judicial office holders with excellent HR support and professional expertise.

JOHR supports the senior judiciary, leadership judges, and works in partnership with HMCTS and MoJ to ensure the Lady Chief Justice and the Senior President of Tribunals have a properly resourced, visible, and accessible HR service based on the needs of the judiciary.

With a passion for people/operational management and a desire to build an HR generalist foundation for a future career, the post holder will work within the Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) Organisational Design and Development (OD&D) function being a strategic delivery partner for Senior Tribunal Leadership Judges.

Whilst we are part of the wider Civil Service HR community, we are not a typical HR team in that everything we do needs to meet the, often complex, needs of around 25,000 members of the judiciary who are office holders and not employees or Civil Servants.

This provides us with a unique and interesting set of HR challenges.

It also provides us with unique opportunities to work with the judiciary at all levels and gives us ample opportunity to broaden our HR skills sets, use our HR and business insights to be curious and creative about doing things differently within an environment of continuous learning.

Summary:

This is a significant strategic HR leadership role requiring high levels of people and HR/business management skills.

The role requires a professional approach and must ensure that delivery is in line with the requirements of Civil Service HR, pro-actively role modelling activities and behaviours which promote core MoJ values including diversity and equality of opportunity and supporting and being a positive advocate of the Judicial Office HR Operating Model.

The postholder will work at a strategic level and be responsible for developing and sustaining trusted working relationships with judicial leaders in the Tribunals in support of the delivery of justice.

The HR insights garnered by the post holder will be key in understanding the needs of the judiciary in the Tribunals and will help to shape the Judicial HR offer.
