**Senior Advisor Legal and Judicial Administration**

**Te Haeata/The Opportunity**

A unique opportunity has arisen in the Office of the Chief Justice for a Senior Advisor with an interest in judicial administration. The Office of the Chief Justice | Te Tari Toko i te Tumu Whakawā (Te Tari), supports the independent judicial branch of government and the Chief Justice, President of the Court of Appeal, and Chief Judge of the High Court, in their leadership and administrative responsibilities.

We are seeking a Senior Advisor, Legal and Judicial Administration, who will report to the Chief Justice's Chief Legal and Policy Advisor. This new role is to ensure that the core judicial administrative functions that are carried out in support of and on behalf of, the Chief Justice and the judiciary, are discharged lawfully and accurately. This role will provide oversight and guidance over the various administrative processes and ensure they are legally accurate, that those responsible for undertaking the tasks have the necessary advice, knowledge and information to perform their roles to the required standard and resolve any specific legal or policy issues related to core judicial administration.

You will be working closely with the Chief Justice and other members of the senior judiciary to ensure any legal or policy issues relating to core judicial administration are properly resolved.

The Senior Advisor also assists the Chief Legal and Policy Advisor in providing high level legal, policy and strategic advice to the Chief Justice in her role as head of the judiciary. The delivery of this advice may be directly to the Chief Justice or indirectly through judicial committees, other judges and the Office of the Chief Justice. This advice extends to the assessment and options in response to law reform proposals that may impact the courts or judiciary and on the legal and policy information issues that arise as a consequence of the institutional relationship between the courts and the Ministry of Justice.

The Senior Advisor reports to the Chief Legal and Policy Advisor but will undertake work for other areas in Te Tari as directed. They will also be expected to deputise as the Chief Legal and Policy Advisor during their absence or unavailability in respect of legal and policy issues that arise.
