**About the VGSO**
The Victorian Government Solicitor's Office (VGSO) provides responsive legal services exclusively for the Victorian Government and the broader Victorian Public Sector. The VGSO is at the centre of legal change, reform and problem-solving, and operates as a service-driven legal professional practice and strives for excellence in this competitive environment. In all aspects of our work, we are committed to our values: Responsiveness, Integrity, Insight, Collaboration and Excellence.
**About our branch**
Our Workplace Relations and Occupational Safety Team is a busy and high performing team of 17 lawyers - we provide specialist legal services to the Victorian Government and the broader Victorian Public Sector as part of our employment, workplace investigations, industrial, discrimination and occupational health and safety practice. We also work closely with specialists in other branches of the VGSO in areas of law such as information sharing, constitutional and public law, criminal law, corporate law and administrative decision making.
The Victorian Public Sector comprises 284,819 employees (FTE) (as at June 2021) which is 10% of the Victorian labour force, with 1,840 employers. The matters we work on are fascinating and complex and often of significant public interest.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Workplace Relations or OHS lawyer in the early years of their career, to join the team, and assist in responding to the ever-growing demand for our legal services.
In our team, with appropriate supervision, you will have the opportunity to work on a range of matters, including:
- Enterprise agreement interpretation and industrial disputes;
- Employment-related litigation (including unfair dismissal, EEO and general protections claims) and sexual harassment and discrimination claims;
- Advice on employment-related issues (including workplace behaviour, workplace investigations, bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination);
- Advice on public law related matters, including advice relating to public service and public sector executives; and
- Occupational health and safety matters.
This role would ideally suit a practitioner wanting to develop a joint Workplace Relations/OHS practice.
**Your skills and experience**
We require you to have:
- Demonstrated ability to carry out complex legal research and analysis
- Ability to efficiently provide expert and authoritative written and oral advice which is fit for purpose
- Excellent interpersonal, communication and client relationship management skills
- Experience in workplace relations and/or occupational health and safety and law desirable but not essential.
**Benefits**
VGSO offers an inclusive, collegiate and collaborative work environment where you will be well-supported and mentored to develop your knowledge. You will also be given excellent career opportunities to progress and develop within the organisation.
VGSO embraces flexibility and welcomes a conversation to help you achieve work-life balance. We currently work in a hybrid environment with employees enjoying a balance of working from home and in the office.
