About the serviceThe Aboriginal Legal Service of WA Limited (ALSWA) is funded by the Department of Justice to provide Prison In-Reach Legal Services for adult accused persons appearing in the Central Law Courts and remanded to metropolitan prisons. This program is closely linked to the Bail Support Service, which provides at least four bail support workers to work with accused persons appearing in the Central Law Courts. The objective of both programs is to reduce avoidable remand by providing earlier access to bail for suitable applicants through the provision of bail support and prison in-reach legal services and by supporting accused to comply with bail conditions and undertakings.
These positions require responsible people who are compassionate and self-motivated with well-developed interpersonal skills and personal integrity.
About the roleThe main role of the Prison In-Reach lawyer is to visit metropolitan prisons and appear in the Central Law Courts to represent accused persons for bail applications and/or bail variation applications. The Prison In-Reach lawyer also provides legal assistance for some accused who are unable to be released on bail to ensure the earliest possible resolution of their matters.
You will also be required to identify clients who are unable to meet bail conditions or be released on bail as early as possible and work towards the earliest possible resolution of the case. Additional requirements include the preparation of legal documents, filing of court documents and completing relevant paperwork and performing other duties as directed.
Knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal culture, society and the issues affecting Aboriginal people is required.
About youIf you are passionate about striving for justice for disadvantaged Aboriginal people and want to make a difference, ALSWA is the place for you. The work is both challenging and rewarding.

We offer attractive employment benefits including salary packaging (making part of your salary tax-free), free counselling services to employees and immediate family through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), flexible working arrangements and opportunities for professional development.
