Legal Aid NSW delivers accessible legal services across criminal, family and civil law. We provide advice, court representation, and family dispute resolution through 28 offices and phone-based support, helping people navigate the legal system with confidence and fairness.
This role provides assistance and support in the planning, coordination, delivery and evaluation of community legal education across the State.
You’re a reliable and enthusiastic administrator who enjoys making a positive impact. With strong communication skills and a passion for helping others, you thrive in both independent and team settings. You bring initiative, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities with confidence. As the sole administrator in the Community Legal Education team, you’re comfortable working autonomously while supporting colleagues and community partners. You’re passionate about community legal education and take pride in contributing to programs that empower people with knowledge. You value collaboration, inclusion, and service, and bring a positive energy to everything you do.
