Please note the successful applicant will need to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Security Check for this post.
To apply for roles in MOJ you will need to confirm your employment history for at least 3 years prior to the date of application so that pre-employment checks (BPSS) can be undertaken. If you have spent significant time abroad (a total of 6 months in the past 3 years) you would be required to give a reasonable account of the reasons why.
For some roles you will be required to successfully complete National Security Vetting at Counter Terrorism (CTC), Security Clearance (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV) level as a condition of appointment. To meet CTC/SC/DV requirements you will normally need to have been resident in the UK for at least 3/5/10 years prior to the date of application (The level of checks that are required are stated in the advert).

If you do not meet the above requirements, you may still be considered if, for example:

• You’ve been serving overseas with HM Forces or in some other official capacity as a representative of HM Government
• You were studying abroad
• You were living overseas with parents

In such cases you will need to be able to provide referee cover for the period(s) of residence overseas. The duration of overseas residence and the country of abode will also be taken into account.

We have provided detail of the assessment stages and areas being assessed to help you prepare for completing your application form, and to advise of what will be assessed following this, if you successfully pass the application stage.

If you have excellent customer service skills, prefer working away from an office, enjoy working by yourself or in a small team and like your days to be varied and flexible, this may be the job for you.
You will be an excellent communicator with the ability to swiftly assess circumstances, adapt accordingly and be a confident leader in sometimes emotionally charged situations. You will be able to plan your days to manage your workload but should be adaptable.
You will be visiting people in their homes and businesses; you must be able to impartially and calmly explain why you are visiting and what options are available to help resolve matters. You must be able to demonstrate empathy for court users, be non-judgmental but focussed on carrying out your role whilst fully respecting the customers that you meet.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a supportive team. Our work is varied and rewarding, attracting people from all backgrounds and walks of life. You will receive full training which includes understanding Court Management systems and then are further supported with mentoring from an experienced colleague whilst deployed.
Not to be confused with private Bailiffs, this role gives you the opportunity to make a difference in HMCTS and for service users, whilst developing your career within the Civil Service.
We give you the option of using your own car or a lease car after a successful probation period, so a driving licence is essential. Fuel allowances are paid. You will receive full PPE and safety training to give you the knowledge and confidence to conduct your bailiff duties successfully.
We’re passionate about delivering Justice for everybody in the UK. That means having a diverse workforce that fully represents the people we serve so if you have the confidence and desire to make a difference and are interested, please apply.
Whilst the post holder can be based at either Aldershot, Guildford or Basingstoke, they will be required to regularly travel to / work in the Aldershot area. Mileage rates will be paid in accordance with organisational policies.
For a full job description, please read supporting document 1 included below before applying.
The job holder must be able to fulfil all spoken aspects of the role with confidence in English or (when specified in Wales) Welsh.
