I'm at the convenience of the Hearing Officer.

Best Answer

I am a native AmE speaker.

I am at the Hearing Officer's convenience.

This is close to the idiom "at your convenience" and it sounds like your timing is convenient in reference to the Hearing Officer's schedule. You may need to speak to them, but you can wait for them to have a free moment instead of needing to schedule an appointment.

I am at the convenience of the Hearing Officer.

This one suggests that you can be of assistance to the Hearing Officer. You are available to run errands or do trivial tasks to make their life easier, much as a personal assistant would.
