• Executive Level 1 - Assistant Practice Manager

The Assistant Practice Mangers lead teams of junior staff in providing administrative support for the procurement, financial & business management, recruitment, training and legal policy functions of the Legal Policy and Practice Management Section. They drive innovation and performance not just in the Section, but across the Division.

We have two Assistant Practice Managers. The precise nature of the role will depend on where gaps appear in the team and the skills and capabilities of the applicant. We encourage you to apply if you have experience in leading small administrative teams, experience in legal practice management, procurement or legal policy matters. You do not have to have experience across all potential aspects of the role.

At this stage we anticipate the work will significantly relate to legal policy matters. This may involve revising internal policy documents, drafting new ones and/or liaising with the Office of the Office of Legal Services Coordination at the Attorney General’s Department. 

The role is advertised as non-ongoing or ongoing and may be filled by either a temporary or permanent appointment. However, at this stage we expect to appoint someone for a temporary 6-month period. 

• Excellent position if you have experience leading small administrative teams, experience in legal practice management, procurement or legal policy matters. 
• You may lead a team of two support staff or work independently depending on how roles are split with the other EL1s in the team. At this stage the work is likely to be primarily legal policy in nature.
• Work may include procurement, financial & business management, recruitment, training and/or legal policy.
• Hybrid work available (generally a minimum of two days a week in the office to support your role’s supervision of junior staff).
• Parental leave vacancy, but there may be ongoing work available after the specified period.
• Work for the Australian Corporate Counsel Large Legal Team of the Year (2021) and improve it even further!
