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.
IT Technician
An opportunity has arisen to join the UK Supreme Court (UKSC) ICT team as an IT Technician. This will be to provide first line support to all users (staff, Justices and some on site contract staff) to enable them to work efficiently without undue delay or disruption.
For the successful candidate, there may be an opportunity to complete a formal apprenticeship alongside the role to further develop IT skills.

Senior IT Support Engineer
The postholder will be required to have a range of technical skills and knowledge as well as having a firm strategic overview of the aims of the UK Supreme Court (UKSC) and how IT is essential in delivering these. They will act as the bridge between the technical and non-technical staff and Justices, explaining technical elements in clear terms to non-technical people by being an influencer and persuader. They will support the management of relationships with contractors and suppliers, communicate with stakeholders (including Justices, senior staff and court users). Spot any underlying problems and opportunities and anticipate technical problems before they occur, including the potential impact of policy changes.

Work experience and marshalling
The nature of our work means we cannot offer ad hoc work experience placements or the opportunity to marshal a Justice.
