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 LawAccess NSW, 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

This is an opportunity to work at the centre of People and Culture, helping the Chief People Officer and leadership team turn priorities into coordinated action.

As the People & Culture Coordination Lead, you will manage executive workflows, governance timelines, papers, meetings and divisional coordination. You will also support strategic People and Culture projects by bringing structure to plans, actions, risks, milestones and reporting, helping leaders make informed decisions and ensuring commitments are followed through.

Working across multiple teams and priorities, you will use sound judgement, discretion and strong organisation to keep complex work moving in a high-volume and changing environment.

You will also:

• Provide high-level executive and administrative support to the Chief People Officer, including managing priorities, correspondence, briefings, records and information flow.
• Coordinate the preparation, review, clearance and submission of Board, Audit and Risk Committee, executive and governance papers.
• Maintain forward calendars, executive reporting rhythms, action registers and governance workflows so deadlines and decisions are tracked.

• Triage requests and emerging issues, monitor competing deadlines and elevate delivery risks or unresolved matters when required.
• Coordinate documentation and resources across People and Culture teams, ensuring information is current, accessible and fit for purpose.

About You

You are a highly organised and trusted professional who can operate confidently in a complex executive environment. You bring the discipline to manage sensitive information and governance deadlines, while building productive relationships across teams to achieve timely outcomes without relying on direct authority.

You will demonstrate:

• Experience providing high-level executive, administrative and coordination support in a complex organisation.
• Experience coordinating strategic projects, transformation initiatives or divisional programs of work.
• Strong planning and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage competing deadlines and changing executive requirements.
• Experience coordinating governance papers, executive briefings, correspondence, meetings, action registers and reporting workflows.
• Clear and concise written communication, strong attention to detail and confidence quality-checking executive-level materials.
• The ability to identify dependencies, risks and gaps, develop practical solutions and elevate issues appropriately.
• Sound judgement and discretion when managing sensitive and confidential information.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to coordinate work across multiple teams and stakeholders.

You Belong Here

Here, every role has purpose.

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

We are 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 your career.

You will be part of a diverse and inclusive organisation, working alongside values-driven people dedicated to justice, community impact and exceptional service through collaboration.
