Reporting to a HRBP, the post holder will need to be agile, forward looking and ready to adapt to the evolving priorities of the judiciary. The mission of the HRBP and OD&D team is to provide professional and quality support, advice and guidance to judicial office holders and by adding this value we further the delivery of justice. Our collaboration with wider Judicial HR, Judicial Office and HMCTS colleagues is key to support a common purpose to provide a seamless service to all judicial office holders. We are proud to make a difference to judicial office holders through the service we provide. The role involves a proactive approach to problem solving and finding solutions to HR challenges. With a detailed understanding of the judiciary and their unique position as office holders the role is key to enabling accurate interpretation of HR policy, and the delivery of HR processes to maintain sufficient support to the judiciary.
