Office of The Chief Justice Reviews

 

Great opportunity for personal growth and learning

The organisation itself is fairly new, it services the entire South African Judiciary primarily that of the Superior Courts and on a minor level the lower courts. This includes every High Court and Specialized Court, Supreme Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court in the country. I provide media, communications, branding, internal communications, stakeholder engagement and events management and support for the organisation.I oversee a staff of three people. In the past year we have grown from a staff compliment of two (myself and another colleague) to four people plus an intern. During this period i have had to learn new skills which include design and layout of the internal newsletter, writing of articles, whilst still maintaining the media liaison element of the organisation in support of the Judicial Spokesperson. I had to be accountable for the performance (and non-performance) of the unit.

Pros: Great opportunity for self growth and leaning
Cons: Lack of promotional opportunities,

Excelent exposure

it was a good work environment interacting with professionals. I have learnt so much in the organization and i'm willing to practice what I have learnt abroad and still learn more. I always work proactively and I give attention to detail though Great attention to detail can also cause you to be too pedantic, Details are important but never lose track of the big picture. I have good organizational skills I believe that I will make a significant and valuable contribution in for the development and success of the Company, though I have not earned the greatest experience as anyone would have expected, I believe that my ambition, attitude, dedication and discipline can overrule experience. I am eager to learn and develop myself in a legal sphere, and I believe that working under your supervision and guidance will enhance my legal advisory skills

Pros: great exposure in ligal field
Cons: permanent

Very demanding

A typical work day is very hectic as I oversee the finance, procurement, assets, facilities and transport sections. I also work with very senior members of staff who can be very demanding at times; therefore I always need to remain calm and see things from their perspective. My relationship with co-workers is exceptional as everyone comes to me for assistance even with regard to issues that are outside my scope of work. The most challenging aspects of my job is juggling the workload as I am currently doing two peoples work and therefore prioritisation of work on a daily basis is a must. Working for this company is rewarding and fulfilling. Policies are changed on a continuous basis; therefore it is imperative to keep abreast of the changes in order to ensure that no mistakes are made in the section. I enjoy working on the computer the most.

Pros: Opportunity for exposure to different functions
Cons: You must be qualified to get promoted

Great learning curve in establishing a unit from scratch.

The OCJ is uniquely placed with the public service because it supports an independent arm of State, the Judiciary. As such, the work is not typical of government and involves a lot of innovation as the Judiciary continues to establish itself as independent arm of State.

Pros: Exposure to the workings of two arms of State, ie., the Executive and the Judiciary.
Cons: Lack of clarity at times on reporting lines caused by having a Minister as administrative head and the Chief Justice as functionary head.
