Te Haeata/The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced people leader to work at the heart of the administration of justice in the Office of the Chief Justice | Te Tari Toko i te Tumu Whakawa (Te Tari), managing the specialist workforce who support our judiciary to perform their role.
The judiciary depends on highly skilled legal and administrative support to perform their roles. The cornerstone of that support is provided by Judges' Associates. We are looking for two outstanding people leaders to manage and develop this crucial workforce who operate nationwide.
Associates work in a complex and dynamic environment under the direction of the judiciary. The two Associates' Managers are responsible for all day-to-day operations and ensuring judges have access to a consistently high and seamless level of support across the five Senior Court locations.
At a time of rapid change, the Associates' Managers will also be responsible for working collaboratively with the judiciary, registry managers and direct support staff to anticipate how these changes will impact on the courts and the type of support judges require. Ensuring Associates have access to the appropriate resources, training and professional development to meet these needs will be an important focus for the Managers.
Reporting to the Manager, Judicial Services, Associates & Clerks, the Wellington based Associates' Manager (South) will oversee the Senior Courts associates based in Wellington and Christchurch while the Auckland based Associates' Manager (North) will oversee Auckland High Courts associates. Both Associates' Managers will provide support and backup for each other when needed.
