You will demonstrate integrity, strategic vision, sound and independent judgement, and an ability to think creatively and work effectively as a member of a team. The Court welcomes applications from individuals with skills and expertise in finance, human resources and audit in particular and seeks to enhance diversity in the Court membership.
