The government is looking for someone to take over the position of High Bailiff.

It comes as the Island's current High Bailiff Jayne Hughes is set to retire.

Interested candidates must have been a qualified advocate, barrister or solicitor of at least 10 years standing, have a comprehensive knowledge of Manx Law and an understanding of the rules of the Summary Courts and High Court of the Isle of Man.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on October 12, with interviews taking place in November.
