Courts & Tribunals Service Centres (CTSC) provide telephone, assisted digital, case progression and court hearing support. They deliver a consistent national service which enables cases to move through to conclusion smoothly.

Our roles support our court users and colleagues within HMCTS, where people and businesses access potentially life-changing justice.

Your role

You need to be a confident communicator with the self-assurance to liaise with members of the public regarding complex and sensitive matters in a calm and professional manner. Customers calling the CTSCs are often in a difficult and stressful situation and therefore great importance is placed on handling calls with empathy and understanding.
