The Ministry of Justice are seeking a Court Registry Support Officer to join our team in the Wellington District Court on a fixed term basis to cover a period of parental leave. This is a pivotal role for the Ministry. The responsibilities of Support Officers help the courts operate timely and effectively.

Te Haeata/The Opportunity

As a Court Registry Support Officer, you support the day-to-day operations of the court by supporting the administration function and providing customer service. Your day will involve you engaging with our participants, including Lawyers, Judges, and the public – whether it be over the phone or face to face. You'll work closely with Court Registry Officers and support them while they take Court and manage case files.

Day to day your tasks include but are not limited to:

  • providing timely and efficient customer service
  • supporting Judges and Court Registry Officers both in and out of the courtroom
  • introducing Judges/judicial officers into court (in both English and Te Reo Maori)
  • support the jury service function and the jurors themselves in court trials
  • providing general administrative support for Court Registry Officers, including photocopying, scanning and filing
  • managing the incoming and outgoing mail
  • managing evidence exhibits
  • provide support and advice to our diverse customer base.

To be successful in this role you will have proven customer service experience. You will need to be confident, able to multi-task, flexible and adapt to change with ease. You'll also enjoy a challenge and be motivated to learn.

At Te Tāhū o te Ture - the Ministry of Justice, we're committed to strengthening people's trust in the law of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

A great team culture is important at the Wellington District Court. Our promise to you is that you can be yourself and bring your full self to work.

Joining Te Tāhū o te Ture means you will become part of an organisation that welcomes and supports people of all gender identities, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, disabilities and religions.

We offer you a range of benefits to support your wellbeing and help make the Ministry a great place to be. These include:

  • 4.4 weeks holiday leave
  • access to a variety of inclusive and proactive networks

With a wide range of jobs, you also get the chance to gain a variety of skills and experience while developing your career.
