An exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of Australia’s most successful public interest and social justice organisations. Justice Connect is a not-for-profit organisation with a vision of a fair and strong community in which people have a fair chance at a better life, the community sector is strong and vibrant and the legal/justice and non-legal social systems are fairer and better.

At Justice Connect, we believe everyone deserves a fair chance at a better life. Too often, our legal system is complicated, expensive and inaccessible. And when the system doesn’t work for everyone, it works for no one. It holds our community back. That’s why we use the law to help people and community groups left behind by an unfair and complicated legal system. Whether it’s a single mother facing homelessness, a local community group struggling with overwhelming regulation or an older person dealing with family violence, real-life problems so often have legal solutions. That’s why we connect people with legal help. We use the power of the law to open up the legal system for those locked out of it, and to change the system where it is broken.

The key to our impact is the passionate commitment of our people. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, driven by a desire to deliver real improvements in the lives of the people and communities we help.

Homeless Law is our specialist legal service for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Victoria. We work closely with pro bono lawyers to provide hundreds of people with legal representation, advice and information. Our services are client-centred and outreach-focussed, and we don’t just address legal issues. Homeless Law's social workers and our relationships with the homelessness sector build our capacity to holistically understand and respond to clients with complex needs. 

In the Homeless Law Legal Administrator position, you’ll play a key role in the efficient and effective coordination of our service delivery and make a real difference to the lives of Victorians who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including by assisting them over the phone to navigate what is often a challenging system. 

If you are enthusiastic, focused and enjoy engaging with clients, we would like to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a committed and passionate team who share your vision of a fairer society.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people of colour, people from culturally and linguistically diverse and refugee backgrounds, people with diverse religious beliefs, gender diverse people, LGBTIQ+ people and people living with a disability are strongly encouraged to apply.
