  • Identify and develop wellbeing resources and guides.
  • Play a key role in creating content and delivering the Society's series of mental health and wellbeing seminars and training workshops with the Events, Continuing Professional Development and Communications teams.
  • Assist and support the Society's regulatory and practice support functions in relation to practitioner mental health and wellbeing issues where required.
  • Manage the Society's solicitor counselling service (Solicitor Outreach Service), including close liaison with the external psychology provider and the provision of regular management reporting on service usage and trends.
  • Promote the Society as a mental health and wellbeing thought leader within the legal profession, including representation at events, key meetings and other forums related to these issues where appropriate.
  • Monitor and remain knowledgeable on current industry research, trends, the output of similar organisations, and other issues affecting the legal profession with respect to mental health and wellbeing, including areas that are unique to specific segments of the profession itself.
  • Provide subject-matter expert knowledge, input and feedback where required to various stakeholders within the Society ensuring the organisation's content, services and public position remains contemporary and relevant to the needs of the legal profession.
