Working for us
Working for the Supreme Court and Judicial Court of the Privy Council (JCPC) is an extremely rewarding experience. You will join a small supportive team, playing a significant part in the upholding of law in the UK and around the world.
We are a non-ministerial government department and therefore the majority of our roles are civil servants. Although we are a small team, we have a wide range of professions from education and IT to those legally trained.
We value staff that can be adaptable to differing priorities and show a positive and willing attitude to support the Court and the Justices.

Current roles
When we have vacant positions to be filled by external recruitment we advertise them on this page, in the national press and on the Civil Service Website.
Head of HR
We are looking for an effective and dynamic HR professional with a proven track record of contributing to an inclusive, values-driven, high performing culture. The role requires an excellent communicator and relationship builder who can work strategically internally, and externally with stakeholders across the judiciary and civil service, to ensure the Court attracts and retains the right people to enable us to deliver our vision of being a world leading court.
The closing date for applications is midday on Monday 23rd September 2024.
