Working for us
Working for the UK 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.
For an insight into the work of the Court and our staff, please watch the video.
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.
The Court recruits up to eleven Judicial Assistants each year to start in September. For more information please see our JA recruitment page.
Information Officer
Information Officers are a vital part of the Communications Team, working to educate the public on the work of the Court and ensure that we deliver the best quality of visitor experience to all. Information Officers aim to provide an exceptional experience and standard of service to every visitor, encouraging active engagement in the work of the UKSC.
The closing date for applications is 2:00pm on Monday 24 March 2025.
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.
