Make a difference behind the scenes. Help protect the rights of Territorians.

Darwin Community Legal Service is looking for an organised, proactive and systems-focused person to join our Seniors and Disability Rights Service as an Advocacy Rights Coordinator.

This is not a traditional administration role.

You will be the operational backbone of our advocacy team, helping ensure people with disability and older Territorians receive high-quality advocacy services across the Northern Territory.

Working alongside advocates, team leaders and national stakeholders, you will coordinate reporting, oversee intake systems, support quality improvement, manage operational processes and help keep our services running smoothly.

If you enjoy improving systems, solving problems, working with data and supporting a passionate team, this could be the role for you.

About us

DCLS has been supporting Territorians for more than 30 years. We provide free legal and advocacy services across the Northern Territory and are the largest NT-based advocacy service.

Our team includes lawyers, advocates, social workers and support staff who work together to improve the lives of people experiencing disadvantage.

About the role

As the Advocacy Rights Coordinator, you will:

• Coordinate operational systems and processes across our Seniors and Disability Rights Service
• Support reporting, compliance and quality assurance activities
• Manage and improve Salesforce reporting and dashboards
• Coordinate intake systems and support the Intake Officer
• Assist with community engagement activities, events and outreach programs
• Support continuous improvement projects and service development
• Work closely with national advocacy networks and stakeholders

This role does not provide direct advocacy casework. Instead, it ensures our advocates have the systems, information and support they need to deliver great outcomes for clients.

About you

We are looking for someone who has:

• Strong organisational and coordination skills
• Experience in administration, operations, reporting or service delivery
• Experience using databases or client management systems such as Salesforce
• The ability to juggle competing priorities and meet deadlines
• Excellent communication skills
• A commitment to human rights, social justice and community services

Experience in advocacy, disability, aged care, legal or community services will be highly regarded.

What we offer

• Above award salary (SCHADS Level 6.1 to 6.3 depending on experience)
• Salary packaging benefits
• Six weeks annual leave
• Flexible work arrangements
• Time in lieu provisions
• A supportive and values-driven workplace
• Opportunities for professional development
• The chance to contribute to meaningful change for people with disability and older Territorians
