Job Description
Position Description Do things like teamwork, service and being part of something bigger than yourself mean something to you? If so, the U.S. District Court might be the right place for you. We are funded by people just like you and me: the U.S. taxpayers; so, we can’t offer you private sector pay and perks. But we can offer you steady pay, a work-life balance, great health/dental/vision benefits, 11 paid holidays off, one of the best 401(k) plans around with a 5% match, a genuine defined pension, tuition reimbursement, a generous telework policy and a free annual public transportation pass. If that’s not enough, you will be part of providing equal access to justice for all.
We are a part of the judicial branch, one of the three separate branches of the federal government. We independently set our own employment policies such as remote work and performance management. We value our employees' individualism and continue to strive towards a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace.
