Triage Leadership & Volunteer Supervision: Assist in coordinating the day-to-day operations of the intake and triage space, providing direct support, training, and mentorship to volunteer paralegals and legal students.
File & Data Management: Maintain precise database records, manage client files, and support innovative, efficient record-keeping practices.
Service Development: Work collaboratively with the triage senior leadership team to co-design, implement, and continuously review our human rights-based intake model.

About You

Client-Centric Communication: Outstanding interpersonal skills with a proven capacity to engage sensitively and effectively with vulnerable people or individuals in crisis.
High-Volume Coordination: Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to adapt, remain calm, and multitask in a fast-paced, high-volume frontline legal environment.
Professional Ethics: A thorough understanding of legal professional privileges, ethical boundaries, client confidentiality, and conflicts of interest.
Leadership & Mentorship: Demonstrated ability or willingness to guide, coach, and support volunteers and junior paralegal staff.
Advocacy Mindset: Working knowledge of the Australian immigration system, visa categories, and the systemic barriers faced by people seeking asylum in Australia.
