Each day, you can expect to:

- Prepare correspondence, affidavits, court reports and other documents using MS Office.
- Undertake legal research or program-specific research and data analysis as directed.
- Assist clients to meet their non-legal support needs and make and follow-up referrals to appropriate support services.

**Who are we looking for?**

You are a highly skilled and motivated individual with a thorough understanding of the cultural, social, and historical needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. You will be able to demonstrate:

- Previous experience working in a legal practice or currently studying a degree in Law or a related field.
- Commitment to the principles of social justice.
- Capacity to behave in a culturally appropriate manner.
- Proven computer systems skills including Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and Outlook and typing skills with a minimum of 35 wpm.
- Excellent phone manners and communication skills.
- Demonstrated organisational and time management skills and the ability to multi-task and work accurately.
- Ability to maintain a high level of confidentiality and work independently in a team environment with limited supervision.
