* Court taking – running the court sessions (in English and Te Reo Māori), working closely with the Judiciary in courtroom and chambers, and general administration of the court.
* Customer Service – interacting with customers on any court related matter via face‐to‐face, phone or email interactions.

The successful candidate is likely to be appointed to the family/civil jurisdiction team, with opportunities to work across teams and to travel on occasion to support other courts in the Wellington Region or wider.

* Self‐aware – understand our customers and be confident working across a range of situations with maturity and positivity.
* Multi‐task – manage conflicting priorities and move from one task to another quickly.
* Willing to learn – legislation and processes are always changing; adapt and respond to feedback.

You'll be an excellent communicator with good English and confident Te Reo Māori pronunciation. Confidence using audio visual equipment is also desirable.

You enjoy helping others – you're flexible, calm, and not daunted by the busy courtroom environment.
