The State of Maine Judicial Branch welcomes motivated team members to join us in serving the communities of Maine within the court system.

The Job:

This is highly responsible managerial, clerical, and administrative work in a consolidated Superior Court/District Court Clerk's Office assuming responsibility for the operations in one of three areas: (1) a consolidated Criminal Division, (2) a consolidated Civil Division, and/or (3) a Family Division. The Division Supervisor coordinates and supervises all activities within the Division and is accountable for all facets of its operation (operational planning, caseload management, employee training and supervision, problem solving, complaint handling, etc.). The incumbent serves as the primary contact with judges, employees, attorneys, and the public, and ensures that all staff utilizes appropriate customer service skills.
