Training Facilitator

Working with the Regional Learning Partner and existing Training Facilitator, the Training Facilitator will lead the delivery of world-class judicial training within their region to equip Magistrates with the competence and confidence they need to carry out their responsibilities as Judicial Office Holders. The post holder will be one of a number of such Training Facilitators across England and Wales who collectively provide a supportive network., How we train Magistrates to meet these challenges is paramount. A review of the volume and type of training we provide was therefore undertaken. We looked at a range of issues, including the latest advances in digital training, the profile of the magistracy within the judiciary, and how the Judicial College works with HM Courts and Tribunals service to deliver that training. The changes we have implemented are aimed at ensuring our training supports the recruitment and retention of a diverse Magistracy which reflects the society it serves, that the Magistracy is confident and competent in meeting the future needs of the justice system, and that it continues to have the profile it deserves within the judiciary., 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). All employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in an office, subject to local estate capacity. 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. For nationally advertised roles: All successful candidates will be appointed to the nearest viable office nearest to their home postcode and on its respective pay scale. This will be at either a HQ building (subject to desk allocation, a Justice Collaboration Centre (JCC) or a Justice Satellite Office (JSO) - See Map. All employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in an office, subject to local estate capacity).

The Judicial College is the home of training for judges, Magistrates and legal advisers in the courts, and judges and judicial office holders (JOHs) in the majority of tribunals. The Judicial College sits within the Judicial Office (JO) and reports to the Lady Chief Justice and Senior President of Tribunals. Our purpose is to support the judiciary to uphold the rule of law and deliver justice impartially, speedily and efficiently. This involves responsibility for approximately 23,000 full and part time judicial office holders with a wide variety of judicial roles. The vision of the Judicial College is to maintain its position as a recognised world leader in judicial education and training., The role of the Magistracy has never been more important to the effective administration of justice. This 14,500 strong group of part time volunteers hear cases in court in their communities, making important decisions which affect people's lives. They are the largest group within the judiciary and are responsible for hearing around 90% of criminal cases, as well as family and youth cases. The role of Magistrates in supporting the recovery of the justice system from the impacts of the pandemic, as well as meeting future justice system needs, is critical.
