The team deals with a wide variety of matters including inquests, criminal cases, alcohol licensing, care proceedings and family cases. You may also be required to provide ushering duties for other teams within the Courts Division.

When you’re not in court, you will assist with administration tasks in the office such as logging of the daily post onto the post sheet, photocopying and distribution to parties of court orders, boxing up and labelling court files and more.
