Senior Solicitor
vor 1 Monat
Job type: Full time / Fixed term until: 30-JUN-2026
Organisation: Department of Families, Fairness and Housing
Reference: VG/DFFH/CDS/736175A
The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) works hard to create equal opportunities for all Victorians to live a safe, respected and valued life.
Our areas of focus are child protection, housing, disability, the prevention of family violence, multicultural affairs, LGBTIQA+ equality, veterans, women and youth. The work we do benefits thousands of Victorians, particularly those who are disadvantaged and vulnerable.
We work in a variety of community-based settings, including people's homes, residential facilities and secure settings across metropolitan, rural and regional Victoria.
We are committed to developing and supporting a workforce that is well equipped and highly motivated. All jobs can be worked flexibly, and we encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people from diverse backgrounds and abilities.
THE ROLE As a Senior Solicitor in the Corporate and Construction team, you will be required to provide timely legal advice and prepare contracts and advice for our clients, which includes senior executive members within the department and portfolio Ministers supported by the department. In particular, the Senior Solicitor will be expected to support various legal matters relating to the department's Service Agreement with funded community service organisations. The role will also be required to support the implementation of the Fair Jobs Code for the Community Services Sector, including the anticipated procurement and coordination of workplace mediators in relation to certain disputes arising under the Code.
Your advice must be clear, accurate and appropriate to meeting the client's needs. You will also be required to assist in monitoring and reporting on the performance and quality of advice of contracted legal firms in meeting the needs of the department's clients.
The Senior Solicitor role will report to one of the Managing Principal Solicitors in the Corporate and Construction Team. The role is also key in supporting less experienced staff.
COVID-19 VACCINATION
The department strongly recommends (but does not mandate) that employees maintain their COVID-19 vaccination status in accordance with current ATAGI (Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation) advice, given their individual circumstances. As of June 2023, DFFH does not require evidence of COVID-19 vaccination status.
HOW TO APPLY All VPS employees (and ex-VPS employees with extended access to the Jobs and Skills Exchange website) MUST apply via the Jobs and Skills Exchange portal.
Applicants are encouraged to apply online. Attachments can be uploaded in .doc, .docx, .pdf, .txt or .rtf formats.
Applicants are required to submit a CV and Cover Letter (max 2 pages) outlining their suitability to the role in line with the Key Selection Criteria.
Applicants must be an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or hold a valid work permit or visa. Work eligibility will be checked as part of the recruitment process.
Preferred candidates will be required to complete pre-employment screening, including a national police check and misconduct screening.
Please apply to submit your interest in this position.
