PARA-LEGAL / LEGAL SECRETARY

UNITED WORKERS’ UNION - A NEW CHAPTER. A RENEWED FOCUS. JOIN US
United Workers Union is entering an exciting new chapter.
With new leadership comes renewed purpose, fresh energy and a clear ambition: to build the strongest organising union in Australia that wins for workers.
We are looking for a highly motivated, organised and values-based Para-legal who wants to be part of one of Australia’s largest and most influential unions. The role can be based in Melbourne or Perth and is offered on a full-time ongoing basis. Part-time arrangements may be considered.

ABOUT UNION WORKERS’ UNION
We believe unions are strongest when members lead.
That’s why, United Workers Union is one of Australia’s largest and fastest-growing member-led unions, representing workers across a diverse range of industries that keep our communities running every day. Our members work in aged care; early education; hospitality; logistics; manufacturing; health; cleaning; disability support; warehousing; food production and many other sectors.
Every day we organise to improve the lives of working people and create lasting change.
We do this by pulling every lever to build worker power – growing membership, developing workplace leaders, supporting delegates, organising collective action and campaigning for better wages, safer workplaces, and fairer communities, including campaigning both politically and in the community. The United Workers Union is proudly affiliated with the Australian Labor Party.
As we move into our next chapter, we are investing in growing our organising capability, developing our people and strengthening member-led campaigns across the country.

THE OPPORTUNITY
As a member of the UWU Industrial Team, you will provide high-quality day-to-day administrative and para-legal support to our national team of lawyers, industrial officers and research analysts.

Manage work through a shared inbox and support the efficient coordination of matters across the team;
Prepare, proofread, format and file court and tribunal documents and correspondence;
Maintain electronic and hard-copy case files and assist with briefs and document production;
Schedule hearings, appointments, and meetings and liaise with union members, solicitors and court and tribunal registries;
Assist with the preparation and finalisation of enterprise agreements, protected action ballot documentation and other industrial materials;
Maintain accurate records, reports and data, and ensure work is completed accurately and within required timeframes;
Maintain strict confidentiality and build constructive relationships across the Union
Ensure workflow processes are actioned in a timely and consistent manner;
Undertake other duties as reasonably required
Promote and uphold the Union’s values of equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of your work.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for an experienced, organised and proactive paralegal or legal secretary who enjoys working in a busy, collaborative environment and wants to use their skills to support work that makes a difference for working people.

You will bring:

At least three years’ experience as a paralegal or legal secretary in a law firm, union or similar environment.
Experience filing documents with the Fair Work Commission, Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and/or other courts and tribunals.
A sound understanding of legal terminology and legal administrative processes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word and Excel.
The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a national team.
A proactive approach, sound judgement and the confidence to use initiative.
A genuine commitment to the values and purpose of United Workers Union, including its political and social justice agenda.

Applicants must have the legal right to work in Australia and will be required to provide evidence of their work rights as part of the recruitment process.

WHAT WE OFFER

Competitive salary and generous employment conditions; terms and conditions in accordance with the United Workers Union Employment Agreement 2025, see https://tinyurl.com/UWUEA2025.
Salary commensurate with demonstrated skills and experience. Salary range $82,213 pa + super + leave loading, up to a salary of $100,541 + super + leave loading may be offered to candidates who have extensive experience.

JOIN THE NEXT CHAPTER
If you want to be part of a Union entering an exciting new era and are looking for meaningful work, ambitious colleagues and the opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of working people, we would love to hear from you.
Together, we’ll build stronger workplaces, stronger communities and a stronger union.
