The role involves preparing case files for first hearing, data inputting to CJ systems, updating Victims and Witnesses following a guilty plea and dealing with a variety of telephone enquiries from police colleagues, members of the public, defence, prosecutors, Court etc.

This role calls for accurate keyboard skills, attention to detail, an organised approach to work, good customer service skills, as well as an awareness of tight deadlines. Full training on our systems will be provided.
