The registry is the hub of the Cantonal Court and contributes significantly to efficient, accurate and timely court proceedings. As Deputy Head of Registry, you support the head in professional, personnel and organisational matters, take on leadership responsibilities and ensure smooth processes together with the team. At the same time, you actively shape the further development and digitalisation of the registry.

Your tasks

You support the Head of Registry in leading and organising the approximately 20-strong registry team at three locations, take on leadership responsibility for individual employees and represent the Head of Registry in all matters during absences. You are prepared to work at different locations.
You work independently in the administrative case management – from recording to archiving. You handle correspondence, ensure the quality of procedural documents and support the parties involved in the proceedings.
Professional support of registry staff is also part of your duties, as is the induction of new employees and the training of our apprentices.
You contribute your ideas to the optimisation of processes, digitalisation and further development of the registry and actively participate in related projects.
As a competent contact person, you maintain cooperation with internal and external stakeholders and take on special tasks as needed.

Your profile

You have completed commercial training and have solid professional experience in a judicial or legal environment. You have already completed the vocational trainer course or are willing to attend it.
You enjoy taking on responsibility and professionally supporting employees. Initial leadership experience is welcome but not a prerequisite.
You are familiar with the procedures of court proceedings and administrative case management. You work independently, in a structured and careful manner and have a strong awareness of quality and deadlines.
Even in busy phases, you keep an overview, set priorities and convince with your service orientation, teamwork skills and very good oral and written German skills.
You approach changes with openness and contribute your own ideas for the further development of digital working methods. Good MS Office skills complete your profile.
