Bush Court Manager, Criminal Section – Alice Springs

POSITION OVERVIEW

The North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency Ltd (NAAJA) aims to empower Aboriginal people and advance the interests and aspirations of the Aboriginal community through the provision of a comprehensive range of legal and support services throughout the Northern Territory.

The Criminal Law Section of NAAJA consists of Criminal Solicitors supported by secretarial and client service staff who play a vital role in ensuring the provision of effective legal services to our clients. The Criminal Law Section is an extremely busy section, which requires staff members to demonstrate high levels of motivation, energy and a commitment to professional excellence.

NAAJA has a proven track record of providing high quality representation to bush court clients. We have a Bush Court Manager in Alice Springs to ensure the smooth functioning of our bush court practice. There may be a second position given the size of the region.

Suitably qualified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are encouraged to apply.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Bush Courts Manager plays an important leadership role in the section, working closely with the Practice Manager and Managing Criminal Solicitor. The Bush Court Manager ensures that the section provides high quality legal service to NAAJA’s bush court clients, as well as maintaining a select practice.

The role requires an experienced lawyer with a background in criminal law who has high-level organisational skills and an ability to form strong relationships with the Aboriginal communities.

SELECTION CRITERIA

  • Admission (or eligibility for admission) as a legal practitioner in the Northern Territory.
  • An understanding of the issues affecting the disproportionate involvement of Aboriginal people in the criminal justice system and a demonstrated empathy and sensitivity to Aboriginal people, history and culture.
  • Experience in criminal law, including in bush courts.
  • Superior time management and organisational skills.
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with Aboriginal people living in remote parts of the Northern Territory.
  • Ability to work constructively with a diverse team of legal and non-legal staff to achieve the goals of the position.
  • Current NT Driver’s Licence.
  • Ability to obtain a Working with Children Clearance (Ochre Card).
