About the organisation

Organisation Name : North & Northwest Community Legal Service
The North & North West Community Legal Service is a not-for-profit organisation operating as a generalist community legal service. Based in Armidale, NSW, we provide legal assistance in North and Northwest NSW, completing regular circuits to Tamworth, Tenterfield, Narrabri, Gunnedah, Wee Waa, Moree, Inverell, Walcha, and Glen Innes. The Service provides free legal advice, assistance, and support to people who have the least access to the legal system and the least power to help themselves. We also conduct community legal education sessions in the region, speaking on various topics such as family law, the importance of having a will, debt and credit problems, and many more. The aim is to raise people’s awareness of their legal rights and responsibilities and to help prevent issues arising in the future.

About the role

We are seeking a Solicitor to join our busy Service. Applicants should demonstrate well-developed experience in legal practice, preferably with experience in family law and domestic violence matters. The successful applicant will be required to provide comprehensive legal advice, community legal education, and training to clients. They should maintain a teamwork approach at all times, contributing to a positive and supportive work environment.

The ideal candidate, along with having relevant experience in a similar role, will have
– a passion for working in a community legal environment,
– an ability to work with people from a variety of different backgrounds, including those who have intellectual disabilities, clients from Indigenous and non-English speaking backgrounds, and clients from other disadvantaged circumstances, and
– an understanding of issues affecting disadvantaged clients and communities’ access to social justice.
