About you
You have a strong and proud history of service provision working with diverse groups of people. You are a welcoming presence; an outstanding collaborator and you are genuinely interested in assisting people navigate their way through the court and tribunal system.
You are comfortable working in a small team of two or alone, when the need arises. You like to be busy, and you are known for your resilience. You don't need a legal background although you will work hard to understand the legal environment and the complexities our users face when attending court.
You're a morning person, working with a high volume of court-users from the time we open our doors until your working day is complete somewhere around lunch time. This role was specifically created for BLC and you will make it your own and give us feedback and insights along the way.
