About the role:

Victoria Legal Aid (VLA) is seeking an Aboriginal Community Engagement Officer (ACEO) to join our teams in the following offices:

Broadmeadows
Horsham
Bairnsdale

The ACEO plays an important role in improving VLA's efforts to enhance the delivery of legal assistance services to Victoria's First Peoples community.

This is a specialist, non-legal role predominantly focusing on client support, community engagement and empowering people through knowledge. The ACEO may assist in the often-complex nature of intersecting criminal law, family law and civil law legal needs of First Peoples clients and help them access the legal help that will suit them best.

This is a special measures role and only Australian First Peoples are eligible to apply, as per the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. Accordingly, applicants who do not identify as Australian First Peoples will not be considered.

About you:

As our ideal candidate, you will possess:

Ability to support community members in accessing VLA services and provide referrals to appropriate organisations.
Proven skills in engaging with the First Peoples community in the relevant regions through events and meetings, promoting VLA services, and collaborating with other legal providers.
Ability to maintain accurate, confidential client records in compliance with organizational requirements.
Willingness to contribute to VLA's initiatives engaging positively with First Peoples communities, potentially through the Reconciliation Action Plan.
Ability to work with other ACEOs and VLA staff to support clients, maintain community connections, and provide peer support.
Previous experience in roles involving direct interaction with clients, demonstrating strong communication and problem-solving skills.
Background in navigating service delivery systems and understanding of legal processes, particularly in client-facing roles.

Don't meet every requirement? At VLA, we understand that your work and life experiences can be just as valuable. If you're excited about this role but your CV doesn't align perfectly with our job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or one of our many other opportunities.

Focus on work-life balance including flexible working arrangements
