Who Are We?
Criminal Fines Collection and Enforcement (Enforcement) is a key function within HM Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS). Enforcement employs approximately 1,500 staff across 50 locations in England and Wales. We are responsible for ensuring convicted parties comply with fines and other financial penalties imposed by the criminal courts. This department also manages compliance with Confiscation Orders imposed by Crown Courts and the payment of Fixed Penalty tickets issued by police forces.
Key purpose of the role
Staff with excellent customer service skills are vital to the effective operation of the Courts, Tribunals, and other offices within HMCTS. The Criminal Fines Collection and Enforcement contact centre at HMCTS Wales Contact & Compliance Centre in Cwmbran is a busy centre operating a centralized telephony service for courts and tribunals, receiving up to 10,000 calls per week.
The centre prides itself on excellent customer service and is continually striving to improve using continuous improvement tools and techniques. Customers calling the contact centre are often in difficult and stressful situations; therefore, great importance is placed on handling calls with empathy and understanding. In addition to providing excellent service to external customers, agents will be in regular contact with court and tribunal staff across the country.
The contact centre operates between 9:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday, and contact agents are required to work within these hours on a scheduled basis.
The Cwmbran office is centrally located with free all-day parking. While the post holder will be allocated to a specific office base, there may be a need for flexibility to work at other local HMCTS offices on an ad hoc basis.

* Confidently answer a range of telephone enquiries for the Criminal Fines Collection and Enforcement Contact Centre

* Be empathetic towards customers and work collaboratively to solve problems
