- The District Court is the cantonal first-instance judicial authority responsible for civil and criminal justice. It operates with full independence, diligence and rigour.
The Regional Court of Montagnes and Val-de-Ruz is recruiting for an 80% secretary position attached to the civil registry.
As a secretary at the Regional Court of Montagnes and Val-de-Ruz, you will participate in the administrative management of files and intervene in their processing, while ensuring rigorous monitoring of judicial procedures and decisions.
The civil court handles cases concerning relationships between individuals and businesses, notably in contract law and civil liability. It rules on civil disputes and also intervenes in non-contentious procedures requiring legal authorisation or validation. It is also competent to make all judicial decisions relating to debt enforcement and bankruptcy law.
In your role, you will be responsible for the constitution and administrative processing of judicial files. This includes drafting both correspondence and decisions, scheduling hearings and assisting at them, particularly by taking minutes (either by dictation or shorthand). You will also participate in the implementation of forced executions and evictions in tenancy matters. Furthermore, you will be responsible for sending, enforcing and archiving rendered decisions while acting as the primary contact person to welcome and inform litigants, lawyers or other administrative services, whether at the counter or by telephone.
Holder of a Federal VET Diploma as a commercial employee or an equivalent qualification, you have prior relevant experience for the position, ideally in the judicial environment or in a law firm.
Recognised for your loyalty and discretion, you are strongly committed to public service values and possess a sense of responsibility. An excellent command of French, typing skills and the Office suite are prerequisites for this position.
Autonomous and highly organised, you are proactive and able to take initiatives within the scope of your assigned responsibilities. You enjoy handling complex files requiring attention to detail. Moreover, you stand out for your extreme rigour and precision. You are also capable of quickly adapting to new environments and integrating into a team. Stress-resistant, you manage, thanks to excellent prioritisation skills, to handle a large volume of tasks and respond to multiple demands while respecting urgency levels and deadlines.
This position also requires a clean criminal record and debt enforcement record.
