Come and join our team as our new Women’s Legal Advisor. This varied and interesting role, in a small, supportive organisation, spans legal representation at the Asylum Support Tribunal (AST), provision of advice on our Advice Line, delivery of training, and influencing work with the Home Office. The post is currently focused on access to support for those experiencing domestic abuse but there is an opportunity for the new post holder to steer the next phase of the work.
The job is full-time, although we are prepared to consider appointing on the basis of a 28 hours a week contract. Our offices are in East London, near the AST. Under our hybrid working policy, we request that full-time/28 hours a week staff work from our offices 2 days per week. But we will consider requests to work more flexibly. The role is restricted to women applicants only (Exempt under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010).
We positively encourage applicants with lived experience of seeking asylum and/or asylum support. You do not have to tell us about your experiences as part of the recruitment process if you do not want to. If you are an expert by experience (a refugee or a migrant with direct, first-hand experience of issues and challenges of the UK asylum or immigration system), you can ask for independent and confidential support for your job application from the Experts by Experience Employment Network (www.ebeemployment.org.uk).
