Au sujet de cet emploi

À titre d'agent ou d'agente de justice, vous offrez une vaste gamme de services de soutien administratif et vous êtes le premier contact pour le public et les clients du système judiciaire.

Dans le cadre de vos fonctions, vous pourriez devoir participer au tribunal pour l'appel des causes, l'affirmation ou l'assermentation des témoins, des interprètes et des traducteurs. La personne choisie exécutera également des fonctions quasi judiciaires à titre de juge de paix, en fonction de la loi sur les juges de paix (Justice of the Peace Act).

À votre sujet

Pour occuper ce poste, vous devez posséder quatre années d'expérience connexe. Une combinaison pertinente de formation et d'expérience sera considérée. Une expérience dans un environnement juridique est considérée comme un atout.

Pour occuper ce poste, de l'expérience et des aptitudes dans un environnement automatisé et des compétences en matière de dactylographie, de traitement de texte et de saisie de données sont requises. Vous devez avoir de l'expérience en matière d'adaptation aux technologies et aux procédures qui évoluent rapidement.
