What we’re looking for

We are seeking a resilient and proactive professional with experience in a legal, court, tribunal, or justice-related environment. You will be a natural leader who can support and guide others while effectively managing competing priorities, complex matters, and strict deadlines.

Your exceptional attention to detail, sound judgement, and ability to analyse information will enable you to make informed decisions in a fast-paced operational setting. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills are essential, as is a commitment to delivering high-quality services with professionalism, integrity, and accountability.

You are highly organised and thrive in a structured environment where accuracy, confidentiality, and procedural compliance are critical.

Experience working with sensitive matters and diverse stakeholders will be highly regarded.

We focus on hiring people who share our commitment and goals of inclusion, collaboration, adaptability, courage and integrity. If you meet the essential requirements and the role resonates with you, please apply – you do not need to meet every desired requirement for us to want to talk to you.
