The Law Society of NSW is Australia's largest and most influential membership association for solicitors. We're not all lawyers, but we work together to support the legal profession and ensure a just society for all.

We are currently looking for a permanent full time Wellbeing Manager to join our Insights & Engagement team.

About the team

The Insights & Engagement team is the intelligence arm of the Membership & Engagement Department with responsibility for strategic understanding of, and engagement with all cohorts of the profession, from students through to retired practitioners.

About the role

The Law Society offers a range of services and initiatives designed to proactively enhance positive mental health and wellbeing of over 33,000 members and practitioners from across NSW. The Wellbeing Manager is responsible for the identification, development, implementation and oversight of those services and initiatives, which support individual legal practitioners while also seeking to provide law practices with the appropriate resources and frameworks to improve wellbeing within their respective workplaces. This requires a strategic mindset and the necessity to develop a strong understanding of the challenges faced by solicitors in their occupational and personal lives.

As a senior member of the Insights & Engagement team, you will be a critical contributor to the identification, development and delivery of strategic initiatives and programs designed to service and support specific members of the profession through the various stages of their legal career journeys ensuring that all we do is underpinned by the need to ensure a thriving and successful legal profession in NSW.

This role is ideal for a professional with considerable experience in developing, implementing and managing wellbeing strategies.

What you'll be doing

  • Identify, develop, implement, and manage a comprehensive wellbeing program tailored to the unique needs of legal professionals in consultation with internal and external stakeholder groups.
  • In consultation with internal and external stakeholder groups, identify opportunities for the Society to improve its support of legal practitioners’ wellbeing, and developing solutions to effectively provide this support at both an individual and workplace level â this will include the identification of policies, frameworks and resources for law practices, corporate bodies, government departments, etc.
  • Identify and develop wellbeing resources and guides.
  • Play a key role in creating content and delivering the Society’s series of mental health and wellbeing seminars and training workshops with the Events, Continuing Professional Development and Communications teams.
  • Assist and support the Society’s regulatory and practice support functions in relation to practitioner mental health and wellbeing issues where required.
  • Manage the Society’s solicitor counselling service (Solicitor Outreach Service), including close liaison with the external psychology provider and the provision of regular management reporting on service usage and trends.
  • Promote the Society as a mental health and wellbeing thought leader within the legal profession, including representation at events, key meetings and other forums related to these issues where appropriate.
  • Monitor and remain knowledgeable on current industry research, trends, the output of similar organisations, and other issues affecting the legal profession with respect to mental health and wellbeing, including areas that are unique to specific segments of the profession itself.
  • Provide subject-matter expert knowledge, input and feedback where required to various stakeholders within the Society ensuring the organisation’s content, services and public position remains contemporary and relevant to the needs of the legal profession.

About you

  • Bachelor’s degree in psychology, social work, human resources or a related field.
  • Previous experience in wellbeing management, mental health counselling or employee assistance programs.
  • Demonstrated experience in providing corporate or workplace-level programs or consulting services to focus on employee mental health and psychosocial wellbeing.
  • Well-developed research and analytical skills, with the ability to independently identify current and emerging issues within a professional services or corporate environment.
  • Strategy development and project management.
  • Politically astute and sound judgement, with the ability to identify, research, analyse and where necessary implement practical solutions to complex and at times sensitive issues.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the capacity to work effectively in a multifaceted environment within which differing agendas and priorities may exist.
  • Strong administrative skills and the ability to develop and deliver high-quality content, correspondence and advice to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Well structured, change oriented and results focused.
  • Adaptable, flexible and able to work with little or no external direction.
  • Excellent organisation and time management skills.
  • The ability to set priorities and take the initiative.
  • Detail conscious with the ability to work under tight deadlines and handle pressure.
  • High degree of professionalism, integrity and business ethics.
