Advocate is a national charity which matches volunteer barristers eager to undertake pro bono work with those who need legal assistance but cannot obtain public funding (legal aid) and cannot afford to pay for it.
An opportunity exists for a determined, organised and enthusiastic individual to join the casework team. Previous experience assisting vulnerable people and scrupulous attention to detail are a must as you will liaise with pre-volunteered panel of over 4000 barristers, clerks and other stakeholders on a daily basis. You will report to a senior caseworker and work closely with the dedicated and friendly Advocate team.
You will be responsible for a caseload in general common law (chancery, commercial, real property etc).
This role is a full-time, permanent position. You are expected to work 35 hours per week (excluding lunch break) Monday – Friday. We are operating as a hybrid office at the moment and would expect you to come into the office at a minimum once a month, but for the right candidate there is some flexibility.
Interviews take place w/c 07/02/2022. For an application form and further information please visit www.weareadvocate.org.uk.
