The work also includes administrative tasks, making every day both varied and meaningful.

Through our work, we support the democratic foundation, and what we do is important – for your and everyone's legal security.

About the role

As a court usher/security guard, you ensure order and safety in the court's premises. You work to create a sense of security for both visitors and staff. This involves a number of important and developmental tasks. The work is autonomous and mobile with significant responsibility. You work closely with our other court ushers/security guards and administrative staff.

About you
