Legal Support Coordinator
Margaret Clitherow Trust (MCT) seeks to recruit a Legal Support Coordinator to support clients facing complex additional vulnerabilities and communication problems. This role is a great opportunity to learn from accomplished professionals and legal practitioners: and is open to a wide variety of candidates who have the core skills required, from those looking for a career change to law graduates seeking experience.

Our vision:

MCT was founded in partnership with, and for the benefit of, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. We believe in a world where everyone is included and afforded respect, dignity and justice. There must be no exceptions on account of ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexuality, social background – or indeed anything else. We believe that this full inclusion is possible for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and we look forward to being part of a society where this is realised.

Summary of role – purpose and duties:

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities have some of the poorest outcomes out of any ethnic groups in the UK (House of Commons, 2019). Our communities face multi-faceted barriers to accessing services, advice and legal representation. To that end, we are recruiting an Advocacy and Legal Referrals Coordinator to:

Work within a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team to empower and meet the needs
of clients.
Referring vulnerable clients to trusted law firms where needed and supporting them
through their legal case.
Undertaking direct advocacy on behalf of vulnerable clients, on issues such as housing,
debt, ombudsman appeals, DVLA and benefits appeals.
Empower clients to engage with other third sector advice organisations, such as their
local law centre and Citizens Advice Bureaux.
Work with our Service Manager to develop bespoke advocacy pathways for victims of Domestic Abuse.
Person specification:

The successful candidate will be committed to achieving excellent outcomes for clients and be aligned with the vision and values of the charity. They will be warm and compassionate, yet also able to demonstrate healthy boundaries and professionalism. Crucially, they will be able to demonstrate exceptional verbal and written communication, in addition to sound critical thinking and IT skills. They will have resilience – and a sense of humour is also a must
Please note that we celebrate potential as much as experience.

Working at MCT:

We believe our team are our greatest asset, placing a premium on staff welfare and providing staff excellent professional development opportunities for people to take forward in their careers. Everyone demonstrates a personal commitment to serving others and working towards our vision. We are a relaxed and collaborative team, with a big sense of humour.

Start date: ASAP

Location: Hybrid with some home working. Office at Badgemore Park, Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire. Some visits to clients throughout parts of Southern England.
Job type: Part time, 0.4fte, 16 hours p.w.
Accountable to: Head of Advocacy and Legal Affairs
Salary: £11,456 p.a. (£28,643 fte.)
Benefits: pension scheme; personal training budget; generous paid holiday equivalent to 7 weeks plus p.a. bank holidays.

Please note we will be interviewing on a rolling basis, so it is advisable to submit your application as soon as you are able.

Applicants must have use of own car and a valid UK driving license.

MCT recognises it has no greater responsibility than to safeguard the children and vulnerable adults that it works with. Recruitment processes will include a DBS check.
