We have a network of public law teams across the country and hold Legal Aid Agency contracts in public law, community care, and actions against the police.

What We're Looking For

Successful candidates will have good communication skills, analytical and organisational abilities, and be committed to teamwork. They should be IT literate, attentive to detail, and able to use their initiative.

This role suits well-motivated individuals with intelligence, ambition, and lateral thinking skills. A working knowledge of legal aid systems is desirable.

Benefits
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to 'buy' up to 35 hours of extra holiday
  • Generous pension schemes
  • Volunteering days - two days per year for a cause of your choice (fully paid)
  • Westfield Health membership and Aviva Digital GP services

We offer a range of well-being initiatives to promote positive mental health. Our Flexible by Choice programme allows colleagues to work flexibly subject to role, team, and client requirements.
