Job Details

 

LawWorks (the Solicitors Pro Bono Group) is a charity which enables access to justice by encouraging and supporting legal pro bono in England and Wales. We work primarily with solicitors, law schools and law students, and other legal and non-legal volunteers and organisations.

Caseworker – Not-For-Profits Programme

Salary: £26,871

Hours: 35 per week, full-time

Our Not-For-Profits Programme facilitates the provision of free legal advice to small charities and not-for-profit organisations, supported by volunteer lawyers from among LawWorks’ members.

The Caseworker is integral to the Not-For-Profits Programme and works closely with the Head of Not-For-Profits to ensure that the programme's services are delivered effectively to its stakeholders (small not-for-profit organisations on the one hand, and member law firms and in-house legal teams on the other). 

The position will suit someone with sound legal knowledge and strong relationship management skills, who is genuinely interested in the legal and not-for-profit sectors and enjoys working in a busy and close-knit team.  The role offers valuable experience, variety, intellectual stimulation, and job satisfaction.

LawWorks is a relatively small organisation with 17 staff, including staff based in Wales and in the English regions. We are a busy and (for our size) complex charity, with a friendly team, a positive ethos, and a commitment to ensuring that LawWorks is a strong and efficient organisation and a great place to work. 

In addition to encouraging and supporting pro bono delivery, we also work to address barriers to justice and to provide a 'policy voice' for pro bono. 

More information about the role and how to apply is available on the LawWorks website: https://www.lawworks.org.uk/about-us/jobs-lawworks

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 14th March.

LawWorks is an equal opportunities employer. We encourage applications irrespective of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.

Company

You can make a difference

Any lawyer has the ability (with the right temperament and commitment) to do pro bono that makes a difference - whether you are a lawyer in private practice, or an in-house lawyer working for a company, charity or for local or central government.

You may have legal expertise or knowledge which can help an individual, or a charity or not-for-profit organisation resolve a legal problem.

What you definitely will have is valuable training, skills and aptitudes which are readily translatable to real-life situations and problems – for example: the ability to explain a letter or form; to help someone understand what facts may be most relevant to their problem; or to draft a letter to, for example, to an employer.
