Our Team Leaders play a critical role in helping deliver justice. This role will enable you to demonstrate and develop your leadership skills. You will be responsible for making sure your team delivers excellent customer service to service users, judiciary and management. You will lead a Support Officer team based at 54 Hagley Road, working alongside six team leaders in the Tax Tribunal and reporting to a Delivery Manager.

Leading a team of Support Officers, you will focus on the service we offer our customers and ensure that your team are fully skilled to meet their objectives. As an effective Team Leader, you will recognise the importance of the team's overall wellbeing and can motivate your team to succeed.

You will contribute to the delivery of operational, performance and service standard targets and provide statistical data for the management team. Your keen eye for detail and desire for continuous improvement is key to your success. Monitoring and analysing performance areas and trends, conducting ongoing reviews of procedures and work practices is essential, as is your ability to successfully recommend improvements, navigate change and manage the implementation of new initiatives and legislation.

This is a challenging and rewarding role, key to the smooth running of operational functions throughout HMCTS.
