Full time or part time maximum term position up to 21 May 2027
Salary range: $113,668 - $131,153 plus super
Up to $15,900 in salary packaging, flexible hybrid work arrangement

About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to work across a range of legal areas, including mental health, disability law, NDIS, tenancy, social security, and fines. You will play a vital role in advocating for the rights of vulnerable individuals, providing high-quality legal services, and contributing to meaningful change in the community.

In this role, you'll provide expert legal advice and represent clients in courts and tribunals, including the Mental Health Tribunal and VCAT. You'll also support clients by travelling to offsite locations, including community outreach programs and hospitals, ensuring that people who are unable to come to us still get the help they need.

Additionally, you will provide mentorship and supervision to junior lawyers, helping them grow their skills and delivering high-quality legal services together. This is a great opportunity contribute to a team, build relationships with community partners, and advocate for changes that improve access to justice.

This role is based at our Dandenong office on Bunurong Country.

About the Dandenong office
The Dandenong team is the largest regional VLA office providing legal services across criminal law, family violence, child protection, youth crime, family and civil law.

Legal services are provided across two Magistrates' Courts (Dandenong and Moorabbin), the Specialist Children's Court (Dandenong), the Drug Court, the Mental Health Tribunal, the AAT, VCAT and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. The City of Greater Dandenong local government area is the most culturally diverse community in Australia, with residents from over 150 birth places and over 60% of its population born overseas.

As our ideal candidate, you will possess:

A current Unrestricted Australian practising certificate which entitles you to practise in Victoria as a government legal practitioner (mandatory).

A passion for helping vulnerable clients and a strong commitment to community engagement.
Effective communication skills and ability to explain complex legal matters clearly to disadvantaged clients.
Ability to supervise legal work and to mentor and train staff and contribute to the development of individuals and their knowledge and skills in civil law.
