About Legal Aid NSW

We stand beside people when they need it most.

At Legal Aid NSW, fairness isn’t just a legal principle, it shapes everything we do - our culture, our services, our workplace and our decisions.

Since 1979, Legal Aid NSW has provided legal advice, support and representation in criminal, family and civil law, helping people across NSW navigate hardship and complex legal issues. Our work is challenging, but deeply meaningful.

In partnerships with Community Legal Centres and the Aboriginal Legal Service NSW/ACT, we are located throughout the state including our Central Sydney office, 25 regional offices, and satellite and outreach offices.

About the Role

As the Channels and Engagement Lead, you will lead Legal Aid NSW’s digital channels, publishing and audience engagement activities, helping people find, access and engage with legal information and support. You will manage a multidisciplinary team, deliver multi‑channel campaigns and use audience insights, analytics and contemporary digital practices to improve accessibility, reach, user experience and channel performance.



This role is one of the leads in our newly formed ‘Community Engagement’ team and will need to collaborate across streams within the current team to establish effective workflows and ways of working.

About You

You are a collaborative and innovative leader with experience driving digital transformation and engagement strategies in a for‑purpose, government or values‑based organisation. You have successfully leveraged digital channels to increase reach, improve audience engagement and deliver meaningful outcomes for diverse communities.

Thriving in small, multidisciplinary teams, you build strong relationships across diverse functions and bring people together to achieve shared outcomes. You are skilled at navigating differing perspectives, working within constrained resources, and finding creative solutions to complex challenges. Just as importantly, you are passionate about developing others, with a track record of managing staff, uplifting digital capability within your team/colleagues through coaching, mentoring and creating opportunities for people to build confidence and expertise in innovative engagement and communications.

You Belong Here

Here, every role has purpose.

Whether you’re delivering frontline legal services or strengthening our organisation from behind the scenes, you’ll help create fairer outcomes for the people across NSW.

We’re building a workplace where every culture, identity, ability and voice are included and valued.



We welcome Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with visible and invisible disability, culturally diverse communities, and LGBTQI+ communities so you can connect and flourish at every stage of career.

You will be part of a diverse and inclusive organisation, working alongside like‑minded and values driven people dedicated to justice, community impact, and delivering exceptional support and service through cross collaboration.
