* This role is based in Newcastle*
Why This Opportunity?
* Tailored career development - From day one, you’ll have access to structured 1:1 mentoring, role-specific e-learning modules, internal and external workshops, and a clearly defined career progression pathway. Your growth is actively supported, not left to chance.
* Flexibility to suit your life - Whether it’s hybrid working (minimum 3 days in-office), compressed weeks, or part-time arrangements.
* Rewarding high performance - Incentive programs that recognise and rewards your contributions, with bonuses tied to performance and outcomes.
* Real employee benefits - Enjoy a range of meaningful perks including 16 weeks of paid gender-neutral parental leave, access to education support, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), plus special leave days like your birthday off and #4U well-being leave.

* A culture that gives back - Get involved in pro bono work and community-driven initiatives that align with your values and the firm’s social responsibility goals.
* Award-winning workplace - Be part of a firm consistently recognised for its commitment to diversity, equity, and employee well-being - including being named a 5-Star Employer of Choice (2024) and holding the highest proportion of female partners nationally (AFR Partnership Survey 2024).
About the Role:
You’ll work alongside a large and established team, including Partners, Special Counsels, and fellow paralegals. This is a fast-paced environment so we’re looking for someone adaptable, professional, and highly organised.
The Focus Of Your Work Will Include
* Preparing and assisting with estate planning documents including Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Guardianship appointments.
* Supporting Probate and Letters of Administration applications - from standard matters to more complex estates.

* Coordinating files, calendars, and internal processes to help keep things running smoothly.
* Communicating with clients to support the legal team and ensure a seamless experience.
What You’ll Bring:
* Minimum 2-3 years’ experience (ideally with an Australian legal background)
* Strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* The ability to manage multiple competing priorities while maintaining accuracy
* High levels of discretion, professionalism, and emotional intelligence
* Experience with corporate clients is highly regarded, especially if you’ve supported property-related estate matters
