Shape the Workplace and Client Experience in a Growing Legal Services Group
Are you an experienced Office Manager who enjoys creating workplaces where both colleagues and clients have a genuinely positive experience? This is an opportunity to play a central role in the day to day running of a growing legal services group while helping to continuously improve how our workplaces operate.
At Roberts Legal Services Group we have two specialist law firms; Delaney Roberts Specialist Family Lawyers and Roberts Crosbie Mortensen Lawyers. Our firms handle complex legal matters with high professional standards while maintaining a strong People First culture.
Whilst our firms practice separately, we operate as one team with shared values, culture and support functions including operations, people and culture, sales and marketing and finance.
With around 50 employees across Newcastle and Sydney, we believe our success and the success of our clients depends on the quality and engagement of our people. We invest heavily in attracting the right people and supporting them to do their best work.
That focus on people and experience requires thoughtful coordination, which is why we are looking for an Office Manager who enjoys taking ownership of how the workplace operates and who brings ideas for improving how we support both our team and our clients.
Based in Newcastle, you will oversee the coordination of our offices while working closely with the senior leadership team. The role requires frequent travel to our Sydney office, approximately once per month.

- Identifying opportunities to improve how the office is coordinated and the workplace experienced.
