We are seeking a detail-oriented, adaptable, and customer-focused individual to join our team as a Clerk of Court 1.

Occasionally, you may be called upon to serve as a courtroom bailiff.

As a courtroom assistant, you will operate and test the CourtSmart recording system, ensure clear and audible recordings, take detailed and legible log notes, and coordinate virtual hearings. Ensuring the courtroom is set up and ready each day is also part of your routine.

Additional responsibilities include coordinating with facilities for building-related concerns, operating and maintaining office equipment, tracking and ordering supplies, and processing incoming and outgoing mail. You will follow established cash handling procedures, issue receipts for various payments (e.g., bail, fines, restitution), prepare deposits, and manage disbursement dockets. The role also includes providing backup support to the Tok court and assisting other locations as needed.
