About the Role


We are seeking a Dispute Resolution Specialist to join our team at Flexhive in Melbourne CBD. As a Dispute Resolution Specialist, you will be responsible for handling enquiries received by consumers and lawyers and resolving consumer matter complaints.


Key responsibilities will include:



  • Dealing with second tier complaints and lawyer enquiries, particularly early closures and resolutions, liaising with relevant parties as required.
  • Liaising with complainants and lawyers to review available material and documentation, with a view to assessing and where possible, quickly resolving next tier complaints.
  • Attempting to resolve consumer matter complaints between consumers and lawyers using various alternative dispute resolution methods, including shuttle mediation, face to face discussions with parties, and corresponding with parties electronically and in writing.
  • Providing guidance, advice and conveying specialist concepts based on our policies, procedures, guidelines and relevant legislation.
  • Drafting and finalising settlement agreements as part of the complaints process where consumer complaints resolve by way of informal dispute resolution processes.
  • Preparing determinations, reports, recommendations and associated correspondence on complex issues, and maintaining appropriate records.
  • Referring complaints for investigation where informal dispute resolution fails and where warranted in consultation with the Assistant Manager, or where disciplinary issues are identified.

The estimated salary for this position is $62-$67 per hour, plus Super, depending on experience. The anticipated hours per week are 38 (7.6 hours per day) for this contract. We offer a working from home arrangement and an immediate start.


About You


To be successful in this role, you will need to have experience in a dispute or complaint management environment, a well-developed understanding of how to interpret and apply legislation, a good understanding of the operation of legal practice and of the complaints provisions relating to the regulation of legal practitioners and legal practices in Victoria, and a high level of computer literacy, particularly with Microsoft Office.


A tertiary qualification in law will be highly regarded but not essential, as well as Mediator Accreditation.
