- managing court files prior to and at the completion of trials to ensure that the files are maintained and are up to date;
- providing a high level of administrative support to the judicial officer to ensure the prompt distribution of orders and judgments;
- entering data accurately into the Court’s case management and other information systems to reflect the workload of the judicial officer;
- making travel arrangements (flight bookings, accommodation reservations and car bookings) associated with circuit and relief sittings, and attendance at meetings and conferences;
- updating the judicial officer’s loose-leaf filing system to ensure that he/she has access to the most recent legislation and reference material;
- undertaking personal work as required by the judicial officer;
- providing assistance, if required, at conferences, functions and/or meetings to ensure that the respective event is conducted in a professional manner;
- providing assistance with legal research and judgment preparation, as required; and
- managing and supervising the judicial officer’s legal associate.

**Qualifications**

- Applicants who have completed a Family Law unit as part of their tertiary studies will be at a distinct advantage.
- Holds a current NSW driver's licence (preferred).

**Selection Criteria**
- Demonstrated sound organisational skills, initiative, the ability to manage priorities, meet deadlines, oversee chambers’ workflow, and work effectively under pressure in a team environment.
