IMMEDIATE START for a very organised, motivated, and empathetic person to assist a client with a disability in drafting letters to legal representatives and other professionals as necessary for Family Law Court litigation already underway.
Note that the client has retained a specialist family law firm thus the successful applicant is not expected to provide legal advice.
The scope of work is generally known by the client and as required to be provided to the engaged solicitor.
Essential skills are listening carefully and patiently to the client’s explanation of a circumstance and transforming this to clear, succinct text.
The client is intelligent and has a clear understanding of the points to be included, the tone and the message to be conveyed. Cognitive deficits however, impede the creating of documents from scratch. You are outcome focused and capable of pacing the sessions and avoiding distractions to ensure that the tasks are achieved.
Hours of work are somewhat flexible and negotiable however your commitment and availability now is essential. The work will be mostly in a private residence (Cremorne) with some sessions remote by video conferencing (or for the right candidate, predominantly remote if necessary due to your location or circumstances).
The client uses a laptop with OneNote and Excel extensively. You will use your own laptop during work sessions and knowledge of MS Office is a given (flexibility here for the right person).
Note: This does not contribute to your PLT year, however the experience gained has proved highly valuable to those previously in the position.
An ABN is required to invoice.
