For Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander candidates only.

Essential to our service is the Court Support Officer role. Across Queensland we have around 50 Court Support Officers including our amazing Field Officers (remote locations) who are the crucial link between our clients and Legal Practitioners.

Join our Rockhampton Team:

• Aid clients prepare for Court (Criminal Law support);
• Help with paperwork, legal forms, court documents, data entry;
• Communicate between our Legal Practitioners and our clients;
• Drive our car, sometimes outside of Rockhampton to communities to assist our Legal Practitioners and clients;
• Contribute to our 24/7 after-hours on-call service by roster (which is why you're paid well above the Award; primarily phone services).

About you:

• Being a good role model to community members is an ideal quality, as is an understanding of our clients' rights in seeking justice. See www.atsils.org.au for our Fact Sheets to prepare.
• You need to be a steady driver, and you need to be reliable and resilient. Computer skills are essential.
• We offer a strong opportunity to make a difference for our people entering the criminal justice system. You do not need to be studying law or justice to do a great job here with us.

You are required to have a current Queensland Government Blue Card and a National Police Criminal Record check prior to commencing work with our people or accessing any client file, database record or attending Court.

ATSILS wishes you every success in this fast-paced recruitment and we look to appoint ASAP. This role will be closed at any time if a successful candidate is engaged.
