About the role: This is an exciting opportunity to progress your career and obtain experience working as a Police Lawyer in the Courts and Prosecution Services Division (CPSD) of the Victoria Police Legal Services Department (LSD).
Our vision is to be a centre of prosecutorial and legal excellence, with people who are recognised as being fair, just and valued partners in the Victorian justice system.
The CPSD is currently enhancing its advocacy response to meet the expansion of court networks and specialist jurisdictions across Victoria.
We are therefore seeking enthusiastic, skilled, and dedicated Police Lawyers to meet this demand.
Alongside sworn police prosecutors, Police Lawyers appear within both the Magistrates' and Children's Court jurisdictions.
Their duties include representing Victoria Police as an advocate within the therapeutic, family violence, summary crime and youth crime areas of practice.
The role is advocacy focused and prior experience in this area will be highly regarded.
However, the successful applicant will also be provided opportunities for training and professional development through courses and on-the-job training.
To be successful in this role, you will need to demonstrate an ability to appear as a court advocate and manage competing priorities effectively, with a sound understanding of the Victorian criminal justice system.
Victoria Police is a contemporary and agile workplace and supports flexible working arrangements.
Your duties will include: Preparation and appearance work in both the Magistrates' and Children's Court jurisdictions within the therapeutic, family violence, summary crime and youth crime areas of practice. Provision of legal advice in areas of skill and knowledge, including the drafting of court submissions. Working with internal and external stakeholders across agencies to ensure cooperative and proactive approaches to addressing community harm. Establishing and maintaining productive working relationships with all legal representatives and court staff. Providing support and assistance to Principal and Supervising Lawyers in the management of more complex cases heard in the County Court and other jurisdictions. Provision of professional guidance to Legal Support Officers as directed by senior managers. As the successful applicant, you will: Be admitted to practice as an Australian Lawyer.

Have a high level of resilience and emotional intelligence.

A current and valid Victorian Driver Licence. Requirements and relevant information: The salary range for a VPS3 role is $76,817 to $93,275 (covering salary ranges VPSG 3.1 and VPSG 3.2).
Although it is standard practice for selected candidates to commence at the base of the salary range, genuine consideration will be given to a commencement salary within the available range that is commensurate with the successful candidate's knowledge, skills and experiences. As a member of the CPSD you will be located on selection, at a specific office for a particular advertised opportunity.
The primary location for this position is the Dandenong Prosecutions Unit.
However, given occasional legal service demand issues you may be required at times to undertake varied work within the Department. This position may require you to work outside normal hours. Applicants must be an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or hold a valid work permit or visa. The successful applicant will be required to undergo pre-employment checks which may include fingerprint checks and misconduct screening. Your application must include: A Cover letter (no more than 1-page) Resume Completed application form A copy of your current Australian Practicing Certificate Please Note: All applications will need to be submitted through one of the following platforms; Jobs and Skills Exchange (JSE) website, Victorian Government careers website (Careers.vic) or Seek.
