Driving is an essential part of the job role and in order to apply you must:
* Be fit to drive and have a valid EU or UK Driving licence.
* Have access to, and be able and ready to use your own car for work purposes. We will not be able to progress you to appointment if you do not have a vehicle at the point of offer.
If you have a UK licence, after completion of your probation period, you have the option to take part in the Department’s car leasing scheme.
Please note:
1. For insurance purposes, drivers of lease vehicles, pool or hire cars must have a UK driving licence for over 12 months.
2. Drivers using their own car must have insurance for work-related travel.
3. All work mileage is paid for in accordance with the allowances in place, as amended from time to time.
Your role:
As a bailiff, you will play a vital role in the UK’s Justice System working on the front line, dealing with people who are at some of the most challenging points of their lives.
To be a successful bailiff, you will be an excellent communicator. You need to be able to swiftly assess circumstances, adapt accordingly and be a confident leader in emotionally charged situations.
You must be able to 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 focused on carrying out your role whilst fully respecting the customers that you meet.
You will be able to plan your days to manage your workload but be able to cope and adapt with plans changing at short notice.
We give you the option of using your own car or, following successful completion of your probation period, a lease car (UK driving licence required for a lease car), 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.
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, then working as a bailiff may be the job for you.
Mandatory Eligibility Requirements:
* Full UK Driving Licence
Working Arrangements:
The MoJ offers Hybrid Working arrangements where business need allows. This is an informal, non-contractual form of flexible working that blends working from your base location, different MoJ sites and/or from home (please be aware that this role can only be worked in the UK and not overseas).
Some roles will not be suitable for Hybrid Working. Similarly, Hybrid Working will not suit everyone’s circumstances. Arrangements will be discussed and agreed with the successful candidate(s) and subject to regular review.
Standard full-time working hours are 37 hours per week. The role of the bailiff requires working a variety of hours, including occasional antisocial hours. The minimum requirement is to work 30 hours per week over 4 days.
The job holder must be able to fulfil all spoken aspects of the role with confidence in English or (when specified in Wales) Welsh.
Further information:
Interviews will be held in person expected week commencing 16th December 2024. Requests for alternative interview dates or virtual interview will only be considered in exceptional circumstances or as a reasonable adjustment.
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 do not meet the above requirements, you may still be considered if you can provide a reasonable account of your circumstances.
