NIJAC - Launch of the Judicial Profile and Person Specification
Introducing The Judicial Profile and The Person Specification
NIJAC
has recently completed a review of the Personal Profile it uses to assess
applicants for judicial office. This Review, which has included consultation
with a range of presiding judicial office holders and the respective
professional bodies, has concluded that a new Profile (to be known as The Judicial Profile) will be
introduced.
Further
to the introduction of the new profile there will also be a new process of job
analysis for each judicial role which will identify a particular Person Specification for each role.
This
will offer flexibility and be reflective of how judicial roles are expected to
function now and into the future.
Potential
applicants are advised to read the material provided on the NIJAC website and
access the information videos to familiarise themselves with the new approach
and how it will affect Assessment and Selection in Northern Ireland.
