- supervising and mentoring other members of the Legal team, ensuring all legal advice provided by them is accurate, consistent, and of high quality.

**To be successful, you'll have**:

- a tertiary qualification in law;
- eligibility to obtain a practising legal certificate;
- excellent knowledge of the parliamentary and public sector environment; and
- at least 10 years' experience in legal work, preferably with some experience in the public sector.
