White Bear Process Servers
Details:
WhiteBear Process Servers was created in 2014 in order to professionally serve court documentation in the north island area.
We are looking for a self-starting individual to begin work in mid August on an on-call/casual basis potentially leading to more regular work. Because of the nature of the position, hours will vary with the amount of work available and as the situation may require - so flexibility is a must. This flexibility goes both ways though - to an extent, you are also able to maintain another job or school while acting as a Process Server.
Working conditions will vary with the weather and road conditions as Process Servers will have to, in general, drive around to locate individuals and serve them with court documents. You will be compensated for your time, as well as gas and mileage on your vehicle.
This position is ideally suited to a mature student, semi-retired or retired individual - but all applications will be considered.
About Process Servers:
Process servers are hired to bring court documents to individuals involved in certain kinds of legal proceedings. Usually employed by lawyers and law firms, their job is to ensure that the other party involved in a civil or family law proceeding is aware that the proceeding has begun by physically serving them with documentation.
By serving them with the documentation in accordance with court rules, it ensures that the other party has adequate time to prepare for the proceedings, and/or time to seek legal advice if it is required.
Proces Servers need to be able to diffuse potentially tense situations and act in a calm professional manner while dealing with people who at times, don't want to be 'served' documents. This comes often from a mis-understanding about what being served documents is all about - giving them the opportunity and the information they need to respond to the issues being dealt with.
As a process server, you will sometimes need to be resourceful in locating individuals.
You must be mature, responsible, outgoing, sociable, calm, discreet, and intelligent.
