Court Navigator

Legal Services of North Florida has an opening for a full-time (35 hours/week) Court Navigator. Come work with great people who do hard work to better the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals in our communities. Work for a non-profit law firm, with 140+ employees in eight offices across North Florida, that seeks legal justice while understanding the value of work-life balance. Our work is supported by grant funding and allows us to handle about 9,000 civil legal cases in a year for low income and marginalized people and families. This position is in-person in our Tallahassee office. Court Navigators play a vital role in helping individuals who are representing themselves in court. They are trained non-attorneys who guide unrepresented litigants through the court process by offering procedural support, helping them prepare and organize documents, and ensuring they understand what to expect before, during, and after their court appearances. This position involves extensive client interaction and provides a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of people navigating complex legal systems on their own. Additional responsibilities include helping clients find and complete court forms, explaining courtroom roles and processes, directing individuals to appropriate court services such as interpreters, and assisting with referrals to community resources. Navigators do not provide legal advice or represent clients in court. Ideal candidates are strong communicators who are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Ability to work independently and in a team environment is desired. The role requires professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to helping others through challenging circumstances.
