Strategic legal training professional
- Executive Level 1 ($110,115 - $146,881)
- Canberra based role / ongoing full-time opportunity

AGS is seeking suitable applicants with experience as a Legal Training Manager/ Legal Training Business Partner to join our Practice Services team.

The AGS Practice Services team is seeking applicants with legal and professional development experience with an understanding of the Commonwealth legal environment. The Legal Training Manager ensures strategic alignment of AGS legal training with our client needs and AGS objectives.

**About us**
Australian Government Solicitor (AGS) is the Australian Government’s central legal practice and part of the Attorney General’s Department. AGS helps Commonwealth clients to manage complex and precedential legal issues, navigate new challenges and find solutions which deliver the best outcomes for Australia. We are a self-funded legal practice and compete for our work.

**AGS is unique.** AGS is dedicated to the national interest and is a trusted advisor to Government.

**AGS is innovative. **Drawing on an exceptional depth of experience and expertise, we assist the Australian Government in the development and implementation of solutions to legal issues that have national importance.

**AGS is diverse.** With offices in every capital city and a team of 715 staff, including over 500 lawyers, we work in more than 40 different areas of law related to government.

**About the role**
The Practice Services team is a small team that works collaboratively to support AGS’s 3 legal practice areas. This includes managing AGS’s outpost practice, pro bono practice, its induction and training programs, its knowledge management framework (including its Legal Opinions database) and the graduate program. The Legal Training Manager (LTM) reports to the National Manager Library and Practice Services SES B1, and may supervise more junior staff.

The LTM is primarily responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of internal and external training programs to meet the professional development needs of AGS lawyers and their clients. The role requires a mature understanding of a learning and development role and experience in partnering with senior stakeholders to set strategic direction, develop long-term plans and implement operational strategies to achieve client and internal training objectives. While the LTM may undertake a small amount of training directly they will largely be responsible for identifying and leading innovative and effective training delivery solutions.

In this role you will:

- provide strategic advice about AGS’s client and internal training offerings including identifying synergies across AGS’s internal and external training platforms
- successfully facilitate and promote contemporary (informal and formal) learning training materials through all forms of technology in a legal environment
- identify and propose any future training evaluation and assessment needs, and improvements to AGS client training and AGS internal training strategy
- work closely with AGS’s 3 legal practice areas and their National Managers to meet AGS’s training objectives.

For further information about the requirements of this role, please refer to the role description available below.

**About you**
To succeed in this role, you should have:

- strong strategic and operational partnering skills with experience in designing and delivering training and development materials, ideally in a legal or professional services environment
- legal practice or legal training experience and a thorough understanding of the Commonwealth legal environment
- formal qualifications and/or demonstrated experience in management, including within a legal services environment, and
- an understanding of adult learning principles or equivalent qualifications is desirable.
