• Valid Practicing Certificate and IAAS Level 2 Senior Caseworker accreditation (required at application).
• Supervisory experience and ability to manage team performance and KPIs.
• Strong knowledge of immigration, asylum, detention, and public law.
• Understanding of Legal Aid funding, billing, and compliance.
• Excellent client care skills, especially with vulnerable clients.
• Leadership style focused on training and mentoring.
