About us

We’relooking for individuals who are committed to public service and making a difference in people’s lives to deliver justice.

We are seeking a highly motivated and organised Court Co‑ordinator
to support the delivery of the
Intensive Supervision Court (ISC). This innovative approach aims to reduce reoffending and substance misuse by placing the judiciary at the centre of rehabilitation, with regular progress reviews and tailored interventions.

As Court Co‑ordinator, you will manage the end‑to‑end process of ISC cases, from pre‑sentence report requests through sentencing and monthly reviews.

• Monitor and report pilot progress to the Strategic Lead and Ministry of Justice.
• Chair pre‑review meetings and weekly case management sessions with delivery partners.
• Build strong relationships with judiciary, probation, prison services, and other stakeholders.
• Ensure timely listing of cases and resolve delays or complex issues proactively.
• Strong relationship‑building skills – to be able to form positive working relationship with colleagues, judges, solicitors, and other professional court users.
• Strong communication skills – to be able to work with a range of internal and external stakeholders, some of whom will be very senior, and ensure external stakeholders are abiding with judicial directions. This will require respectfully and confidently holding external stakeholders to account while maintaining a productive working relationship.
• Strong organisational skills – to keep track of a wide range of cases and the actions required to progress them.
• Strong analysis skills – to identify cases that may need additional support and take action accordingly.
• Good IT skills – to be able to record and track cases via the court’s IT systems such as Common Platform, and to work with the Digital Support Officer to ensure video links have been set up and tested before hearings and/or trials. Training would be provided if no existing experience of HMCTS systems.
