Bush Heritage Australia, a national leader in landscape-scale conservation, is seeking a Paralegal Officer.
Bush Heritage Australia is a national leader in landscape-scale conservation. Independent and evidence-based, we work where we are needed most: in areas of high conservation value with low levels of protection. We protect and help manage 11.3 million hectares of land, providing habitat for over 6700 native species, including at least 226 threatened species. We have two proven approaches to what we do: we carefully select, purchase and manage landscapes of high conservation value; and we work in partnership with others, including Traditional Owners, to achieve conservation outcomes.
The Paralegal Officer role is a new role developed by Bush Heritage in response to our ongoing expansion and business diversification. The Paralegal Officer will work directly with Bush Heritage’s Legal Counsel to improve and enhance the provision of legal and paralegal services to all Bush Heritage staff, improve our efficiencies in legal data collection and maintenance and improve our capacity to undertake complex property and commercial transactions with key external stakeholders. The Paralegal Officer role will be a vital addition to the Corporate Services Team and have the opportunity, to work on a nationwide scale, on a wide and diverse range of projects.
If you require further information, please contact Marina Mateos, HR Business Coordinator on 03 8610 9123 or [email protected], using the subject line: Paralegal Officer enquiry via EthicalJobs.
Bush Heritage Australia actively encourages applicants from diverse groups and communities including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, those from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, women, people with diverse ability and LGBTIQ (sexuality and gender diverse and intersex) communities.
