Inspire learning. Bring the law to life.

Join a respected professional organisation delivering dynamic, hands-on legal education. As an Education Officer, you’ll be part of a small, passionate team delivering tours of the Supreme, District and Magistrates Courts for community groups and professionals. You will also be immersed in providing professional learning for schools and delivering fun scripted mock trials at the Old Court House Law Museum which is situated in Perth’s oldest building.

This is a rare and flexible opportunity to work at the intersection of education and the justice system—helping learners of all ages understand courts, legal principles and civic life in meaningful, memorable ways.
