Fiscal Officer - Kilmarnock

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) is Scotland's only prosecution service, playing a vital role in delivering justice and supporting communities across the country. As a Fiscal Officer based in Kilmarnock, you will be part of a team that helps ensure cases progress efficiently through the justice system and that high-quality services are delivered to the public and justice partners.

Fiscal Officers are at the heart of COPFS operations, providing essential administrative and operational support across Local Court functions. This varied role can involve managing case records, preparing documentation for court, responding to enquiries, supporting the progression of cases and working closely with colleagues and stakeholders across the justice sector. No two days are the same, and your work will make a real contribution to the effective delivery of justice in Scotland.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to begin or develop a career within the Civil Service. You do not need previous experience in criminal justice or legal qualifications. Instead, we are looking for organised, reliable and customer-focused individuals who can manage competing priorities, communicate effectively and deliver high-quality work in a busy environment.

COPFS is committed to investing in its people. You will receive comprehensive training, structured support and access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities. Many colleagues who joined as Fiscal Officers have progressed into specialist, supervisory and management roles, making this an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career within a respected public service organisation.

If you are looking for a rewarding role where your work makes a difference, enjoy working collaboratively and want to contribute to an organisation dedicated to serving the people of Scotland, we would be delighted to hear from you.
