Sydney, Australia NSW Government -Legal Aid Commission, Office of the Full time

**About us**

Legal Aid NSW helps people with their legal problems. We can help people with most areas of criminal law, family law and every day civil law legal issues. We give legal advice, help at court and do family dispute resolution. We can do this over the telephone or at one of our 27 offices.

Mental Health Training Project

Legal Aid NSW was granted Commonwealth funding, on behalf of a consortium of Legal Aid Commissions, to lead the development and delivery of national mental health training for the legal assistance sector.

This Project will design training, in partnership with people receiving and delivering legal assistance services. Once developed, the national compassion-based, trauma-informed mental health training package will be available to Community Legal Centres, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services, Family Violence Prevention Legal Services and Legal Aid Commissions.

The Project aims include:

- training that leads to consistent, compassion-based, trauma-informed services to people experiencing mental health issues and/or risk of suicide;
- training that is designed with people receiving and delivering legal assistance services; and
- best practice training, tailored to the legal assistance sector, freely available nationally and widely adopted.

**About you**

The Lived Experience Project Officer will develop and deliver training for the legal assistance sector.

This role is an opportunity for you to make sure that people experiencing mental ill-health and/or risk of suicide receive compassion-based, trauma-informed legal services across the country. This role will be part of the first national co-design project within the legal assistance sector.

We may use this recruitment to create a talent pool for similar ongoing or temporary vacancies we have over the next 18 months.

This role is being advertised by Legal Aid NSW as the lead agency in the consortium of the eight legal aid commissions. If the successful applicant resides in a state or territory other than NSW, they will be offered appointment to an equivalent role in the legal aid commission based in their state or territory of residence.
