From 1 February 2027 or by arrangement, we are looking to complement our team with your support as a Procedural Assistant to the Department Head (100%).

These are your tasks

• As an assistant to an investigating public prosecutor / department head, you independently manage the secretariat and thus take on an organisationally and administratively important role in the proceedings.

This is what you bring:

• You have completed commercial training or an equivalent qualification, as well as several years of professional experience in an administrative environment. A background as a procedural assistant or from the police, law firm or court environment is an advantage.
• You are a flexible and reliable organisational talent with a can-do attitude and high commitment. You think ahead and provide strong support to your superior.
• You are dependable, dedicated and appreciate teamwork. A high standard of quality as well as an honest and discreet handling of sensitive information are natural to you.
• You express yourself confidently both orally and in writing and know how to communicate professionally and respectfully with parties involved and interface partners.
• You are confident in the digital working environment, open to technological innovations and actively use them to make your work efficient.

This is what we offer:
