The Citizens Advice and Law Centre services across Leeds, Bradford and Airedale are leading providers of advice and information, supporting tens of thousands of clients every year. We are now looking to recruit an ambitious individual to join our growing team as part of a planned expansion of the immigration service working across both organisations.

The successful candidate will be an Immigration solicitor of at least 3 years’ experience or an accredited Immigration adviser to at least Level 2 IAA with at least 3 years’ immigration advice experience. You will split your time between the two organisations, working flexibly according to the needs of the service. It is anticipated that initially you will be mostly in the Leeds office, handling your own caseload from instruction through to completion, delivering high quality advice, advocacy and representation for clients including matters relating to refugees and asylum seekers, family reunion, citizenship, NRPF, overstayers, and visas. You will also support the Specialist Services Director to register the organisation with the IAA.

At Bradford & Airedale CALC the role will be focused on developing training programmes, leading training sessions and mentoring advice teams to enhance their knowledge of immigration issues and advice, supporting them to reach accreditation level. We’re therefore looking for candidates who can foster a collaborative and supportive work environment that promotes continuous learning and development.
