• Collaborate in criminal prosecution operations during the investigation and accusation phases
• Handle criminal prosecution files delegated by the prosecutor
• Participate in the organisation of the registry
• Collaborate on specific activities at the request of the prosecutor

The Public Prosecutor's Office offers its staff flexibility options in organising working hours.

• Master's degree in law
• Bar certificate: an advantage
• Professional experience in the judicial field desired
• Analytical and synthesis skills
• Strong writing skills, excellent spelling, perfect mastery of typing and common IT tools
• Respect for standards and procedures
• Good emotional control and necessary detachment from the facts
• Team spirit, rigour, good stress management and sense of public service
• Clean criminal record and free from prosecutions or bankruptcy proceedings

Engaging in a secondary activity in the same field is considered a conflict of interest and is therefore incompatible with the position.
