We offer: A collegiate environment with a collaborative culture across offices and practice groups High-quality work with committed mentors supporting your career development Comprehensive benefits including competitive remuneration, flexible working, and extensive social and wellbeing initiatives Opportunities for professional growth through structured learning and development programs, pro bono work, and employee recognition initiatives If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to take your career to the next level, then we would love to hear from you.
We are committed to promoting a workplace that is diverse and inclusive.
We encourage the best people - regardless of race, religion, or belief if any, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, or age - to fulfil their professional aspirations with us.
In particular, we would welcome applications from First Nations candidates.
Johnson Winter Slattery pays respect to Elders past and present of our nation's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We honour the deep spiritual, cultural, and customary connections of Traditional Owners to the Australian landscape, including Australia's waterways, land, and sea country.
