Reserve Legal Officer

3 weeks ago

Bayofplenty, New Zealand Cgr Services Full time

Career Progression and Training Entry Requirements
As a Reserve Legal Officer, you could find yourself working in areas such as military law, military and civilian employment law, or human rights and privacy law.

Service: Navy
Specialisation: Naval Reserve
Location: Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin
Initial daily rate: $231

About the Role
Legal Advisors (LEGADs) in the New Zealand Defence Force work in what could be best described as a Specialised General Practice.
As a LEGAD, your career can vary greatly depending on your tasking, but the principal areas in which you may practise are:

Military law
Administrative law
Military and civilian employment law
The law of armed conflict, and other international and domestic law applicable to the operations of the Armed Forces
Human rights and privacy law
Contract law
Resource management law

As a Reserve Legal Officer, you may provide legal advice to all levels of command on a range of topics including disciplinary matters, military justice procedure, Service Police investigations, Courts of Inquiry, command investigations, the law of armed conflict and rules of engagement, compliance with applicable civil law, civilian employment disputes, complaints, and contracts.
Reserve Legal Officers may also advise on, and assist with, the formulation of policy, and provide legal training and education.
From time to time, and depending upon your experience, you may be required to appear for the Crown in the Court Martial of New Zealand or other courts and tribunals such as the Summary Appeal Court of New Zealand or a coroner's inquest.
The majority of your career as a LEGAD will be spent in a tri-service environment, meaning that Reserve Legal Officers may serve at various defence establishments, and your work colleagues can be Navy, Army, Air Force, and civilian. You may also have the opportunity to serve overseas, on exercise or on deployment.
Career Progression and Training
During your first 11 months in the Navy, you will be taught core military, mariner, and leadership skills to be an effective officer in the Navy.
Job Training: Specialist training as a Legal Officer is provided as appropriate on an ongoing basis, most of which is conducted in-house.
Following successful completion of JOCT, you will typically be promoted to Sub-Lieutenant and begin familiarisation with Defence Legal Services in Auckland, Waiouru, Palmerston North, Wellington, or Burnham.
Reservists who have not previously served in the Regular Force (ab initio Reservists) commit to a minimum cumulative total of 20 days' service each year for professional development and operational delivery.
Naval Reservists receive a daily rate of pay, commensurate with their rank and experience, and this encompasses travel time required to attend training.
Salary
As a Reserve Legal Officer, the minimum remuneration you will be paid from day one is a daily rate of $231.09 plus an allowance for holiday pay.
Entry Requirements

Must have completed a Bachelor of Laws (LLB). Applicants in their final year of study are encouraged to apply.
Be free of any criminal convictions for the previous two years or any that preclude you from holding a legal practising certificate.
Be of good character - assessed by a study of testimonials and a police record check.
Pass an Officer Selection Board.
You must be medically fit for service and meet the minimum entry fitness standards.
Colour perception restrictions may apply.

There are strict citizenship and security requirements to gain the TSV security clearance required for this trade. You must be free of any criminal convictions.
