There are very few opportunities for paid lawyers to work within the Citizens Advice Bureau. The funding of CABs and Law Centres has been hard hit in recent years as local and central government purse strings have been tightened.

Voluntary positions are, however, of course more attainable and if you are interested in helping your local CAB then you should contact them directly.
