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.

Our Cairns Office has an opportunity for 2 x Court Support Officers to join the team due to internal movement and new funding.

- Communicate between our Legal Practitioners and our clients;
- Drive our car,



sometimes outside of Cairns 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 have a clean driving record, and you need to be reliable and resilient. Computer skills are essential.
- We offer a solid 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.
