Women'S Legal Service Tasmania | Just Healthy Families Solicitor

vor 1 Tag

Central Coast, Österreich Women's Legal Service Vollzeit

About the role
Women's Legal Service Tasmania (WLST) and Tasmania Legal Aid (TLA) have collaborated to offer Tasmania's first Health Justice Partnership – Just Healthy Families (JHF).
Both WLST and TLA run programs with a family violence focus, with WLST also being able to provide integrated social supports to clients experiencing family violence through financial counselling and social work.
You can read more about each organisation's approach to community legal assistance through their strategic plans found on their websites.
JHF partners with Child and Family Learning Centres (Department of Children, Education and Young People), Child Health and Parenting Centres (Department of Health), Hobart Women's Shelter, and other service providers such as community services, general practitioners and other allied health professionals.
More information about how Health Justice Partnerships operate can be found through the Health Justice Australia website.
The JHF program provides assistance across a range of legal areas including family law, child protection, family violence, housing, debt, and victims of crime compensation and aims to reduce the impact of family violence on all Tasmanians.
We offer a unique and holistic service response to clients across the state with the goal of improving the safety and wellbeing of Tasmanian families and achieving gender equity.
Our solicitors specialise in family violence and trauma-informed practice.
This role is advertised as available based in either Launceston or Burnie, with the successful applicant providing services to our partner sites across both northern and north-western Tasmania.
This position is advertised relying on an exception in the Anti-Discrimination Act, as a special measure.
Accordingly, this position is open to women applicants only.
What You'll Be Doing
Visit identified Child and Family Learning Centres (CFLCs) in north and north-west Tasmania, and deliver timely and responsive legal services and information to the clients and staff of these centres, providing high-quality legal advice, information, referral, and secondary consultation services in relation to matters in both State and Federal jurisdictions, ensuring efficient, appropriate and plain language service delivery, including preparation of documents, forms and correspondence.
Work effectively both independently and in a team to contribute to the achievement of the program and JHF objectives, demonstrating a high level of interpersonal skills, specifically in respect of managing and organizing workloads to consider the schedules of clients, nurses, early childhood educators, GPs and other health and social service partners.
Provide an integrated and holistic client service, working with social workers and financial counsellors to address both legal and non-legal needs of clients.
Assist to develop and co-deliver community legal education activities and resources, training and outreach programs in line with the work of the organisation, working collaboratively with key stakeholders to deliver these services.
Assistance with research, preparation and presentation of law reform and lobbying submissions, working in consultation with other staff and key stakeholders to prepare submissions with reference to Women's Legal Service Tasmania's Strategic Plan.
What We're Looking For
Demonstrated knowledge and experience in practice of law in areas relevant to women - family law, family violence, child safety - and the ability to advocate, negotiate and liaise effectively in a trauma-informed way.
Demonstrated experience working in an interdisciplinary way with other professionals, and experience in working with a similar community sector organisation, or with a genuine understanding and desire to work within the not-for-profit sector.
Well-developed organisational and time management skills, and the ability to set priorities and monitor your own workflow.
What We Offer
At Women's Legal Service Tasmania, we are committed to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment.
As a Solicitor within our organisation, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of women in our local community.
Extra Leave:
Enjoy an additional week of annual leave (pro rata) to support your wellbeing, with 17.5% leave loading.
Parental Leave:
12 weeks of paid parental leave (pro rata) for employees with a minimum of 12 months' service.
Salary Packaging:
Generous not-for-profit salary packaging and a Meal & Entertainment Card of up to $18,530 annually through Eziway, increasing your disposable income.
Wellbeing Support:
Employee health and wellbeing support, flexible working practices, and bi-monthly professional supervision/counselling sessions through Relationships Australia.
Professional Development:
Opportunities for conferences, events, and a dedicated training budget for your professional growth.
