Job description

Who We Are

At Public Law Project (PLP), we work to champion fundamental rights and hold power to account. Our legal challenges have played a pivotal role in successful cases. In just the last year this includes:

• The fight against the Rwanda deportation policy
• The Government’s attempts to renege on Windrush commitments
• Attempts to radically cut disability benefits to 100,000 people without lawful consultation
• Intervention in the challenge against draconian and unconstitutional anti protest laws
• Our work is highly respected, impactful, and deeply valued across the legal and social justice sectors.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a capable, collaborative and motivated solicitor to join our exceptional casework team. You’ll be working at the cutting edge of public law in the UK, supporting our award-winning team of solicitors in work that brings about real change.

Join PLP and you’ll be playing a key role in the team that brought the main challenge to the Safety of Rwanda Act, intervened in the challenge to the prorogation of Parliament, helped survivors whose assets are controlled by their abuser to access legal aid, and put a stop to the no-notice removal policy affecting people claiming asylum.

You’ll be supervised by one of our Lead Lawyers and have the opportunity to collaborate closely with the whole team. The PLP team is friendly, diverse, and inclusive, and you’ll be supported and encouraged to develop your skills as a solicitor.

Your caseload will be a mix of asylum and immigration work for individual clients as well as assisting with strategic public law cases relating to the rights of migrants.

As part of our commitment to recruit fairly we use anonymised-selection processes until interview, offer additional interview opportunities to the highest-scoring candidates from under-represented communities, and use ‘tie-breaker’ provisions at all stages of our selection process.
