London, United Kingdom Release - L.E.A.D.S Full time

Job description

**Are you passionate about social justice? Motivated to support individuals who have been marginalised or stigmatised due to their circumstances?**
Completion of LLB, GDL, or SQE1 and minimum six months’ experience in social welfare legal advice and casework in areas such as crime, housing, benefits, or debt—then this opportunity could be the perfect fit for you.

We’re seeking a committed Legal Adviser to join our dynamic social justice legal team. You'll deliver at least two legal services, both in-person and virtually, to clients engaged with alcohol and drug treatment programmes, homeless day centres, and sexual health clinics. Our work centres on providing expert advice, assistance, and representation, particularly in the areas of **debt, housing (including homelessness), and welfare benefits**.

Following induction and training, you'll also provide legal support via Release’s national helpline—offering guidance related to criminal law and the criminal justice system in the context of drug offences. Additionally, you’ll contribute to our innovative Harm Reduction Hub, a drop-in service supporting people with legal issues linked to substance dependency.

Beyond frontline legal work, you'll have the chance to get involved in the organisation’s vital policy and advocacy initiatives.

Looking ahead, we are launching a limited-scope immigration service in mid 2025 and recently secured legal aid contracts in Community Care and Public Law. These developments may open future opportunities for you to broaden your areas of legal practice within our team.
