Part-Time Role | 0.9 FTE | Footscray Based

About the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre
Founded in 2001, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is Australia’s largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum. We are an independent, values-driven, not-for-profit organisation whose programs support and empower people seeking asylum to maximise their own physical, mental and social well being. We champion the rights of people seeking asylum and mobilise a community of compassion to create lasting social and policy change.

The ASRC movement is proudly supported by a community of committed volunteers and supporters who embrace the organisation’s vision that people seeking asylum can live safely, sustainably, independently and equally.

About The Role (Part-Time, 0.9 FTE)
As an Associate Solicitor within our highly passionate Human Rights Law Program, you will do much more than manage a vital caseload. You will act as a key pillar of our Access to Justice initiatives, leveraging your expertise to build the capacity, capability, and confidence of our legal teams. Working closely with the HRLP Management Team, you will help coordinate vital clinics (including Triage, Generalist, Gender, and Duty clinics) while providing essential mentorship, coaching, and supervision to junior solicitors, paid staff, and our dedicated volunteer network.

Key Responsibilities

High-Impact Advocacy: Deliver top-tier legal representation across all stages of the refugee status determination process, including merits reviews, protection visa cancellations, judicial reviews, and Ministerial requests.
Team Leadership & Supervision: Support, manage, and coach junior solicitors, paid paralegals, and volunteers. You will review substantive written work and ensure sustainable, equitable distribution of cases.
Caseload Management: Maintain a high standard of client file management, conducting comprehensive intake interviews (utilizing interpreters) and ensuring complete adherence to legal and professional obligations.
Clinic Coordination: Help oversee operational delivery across our Access to Justice programs, identifying trends and refining referral pathways with partner community legal centres and pro bono law firms.
Cross-Program Collaboration: Partner holistically with internal ASRC humanitarian and health programs to ensure a seamless, supportive, and trauma-informed experience for our clients.

About You

Qualifications: A current, unrestricted legal practicing certificate in Victoria.
Refugee Law Expertise: A minimum of 2 years of post-qualification experience in Australian refugee law, with demonstrated competence in verbal and written advocacy before administrative decision-makers and courts.
Leadership & Mentorship: Proven ability to supervise, develop, and inspire junior lawyers, students, and/or volunteers in a fast-paced environment.
Resilience & Organization: Exceptional time-management and prioritization skills, with a demonstrated ability to navigate competing demands effectively.
Values Alignment: A deep commitment to social justice, human rights, and the core ASRC values of Collaboration, Welcome, Courage, and Authenticity.
Desirable: Experience working within a Community Legal Centre (CLC) and/or lived experience as a refugee or person seeking asylum.

Annual Leave Loading of 17.5%
Additional discretionary leave provisions
Free onsite car and bicycle parking
