Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

This is an exciting opportunity for paralegals to join the ACT's anti-corruption and integrity commission, and work in the interesting, challenging and unique inquisitorial jurisdiction.

The ACT Integrity Commission is an independent body and law enforcement agency with powers under the _Integrity Commission Act 2018_ to investigate, expose and prevent corruption and foster public confidence in the integrity of government.

Under the _Public Interest Disclosure Act 2012_, the Commission is also responsible for administering and overseeing the Public Interest Disclosures scheme in the ACT.

Working at the Commission is an opportunity to do challenging but rewarding work and make a meaningful contribution to the ACT and the broader community.

The Commission's Legal Team assists the Commission to perform its principal functions and exercise its statutory powers in a lawful, effective, ethical, and accountable manner by providing high-quality, accurate and timely legal services. Commission lawyers work collaboratively with all other members of the Commission, and perform a key role in investigations, including appearing as Counsel Assisting in examinations. The Legal Team also provides advice to the Commission on policy and other organisational matters.

The Commission is looking for two paralegals (one permanent position, and one temporary position with the possibility of permanency) who are:

- Courageous and ready for a challenge;
- Professional and committed;
- Agile, measured and fair; and
- Trustworthy, with a sense of duty.

Further information about the Legal Team, the roles, and the position requirements, are set out in the Position Description.

The ACT Integrity Commission supports workforce diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ are encouraged to apply.

**Eligibility/other requirements**:

- Certificate IV in Legal Services, currently studying a law degree, or a law graduate.
- Section 50 of the _Integrity Commission Act 2018_ provides that the Commissioner must not appoint a person as a member of staff of the Commission if the person is or has, in the five years immediately before the day of the proposed appointment, been an ACT public servant. Please note, employees of some ACT bodies (eg the ACT DPP and the Legal Aid Commission (ACT)) are not captured by this exclusion. Please contact the Commission if you are unsure about your status.
- The successful applicant will be required to obtain and maintain a Commonwealth security clearance at the Negative Vetting Level 1 (NV-1) classification.
- It is a condition of employment with the Commission that staff be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

**How to Apply**:
Applications must include:
A current curriculum vitae; and
A written response (a pitch) of 750 words or less that:
(a) demonstrates that you have the capabilities outlined in the ‘What you require’ section of the Position Description, and
(b) outlines why you are the best person for the position.
