About the Role:

We are seeking a committed, experienced, and motivated Supervising Senior Caseworker to join our specialist Immigration and newly formed Legal Aid team. This senior-level position plays a pivotal role in ensuring the delivery of high-quality legal services across our immigration practice. You will report directly to the Department Director and be responsible for managing your own complex immigration caseload while supervising, developing, and supporting a team of lawyers and caseworkers.

This role combines technical legal expertise, mentoring, and operational oversight. You will lead by example in providing Legal Aid and private immigration services—fostering a culture of continuous learning, compliance, and compassion aligned with our values.

At BPA Immigration Lawyers, we are dedicated to ensuring access to justice for vulnerable individuals and families navigating the UK immigration system. As a growing firm with a strong ethical foundation, we have launched a dedicated Legal Aid department focused on delivering expert, compassionate, and high-quality advice and representation.

Joining as a Senior Caseworker with IAAS Supervisor status means more than casework — you’ll help shape the culture, standards, and direction of our Legal Aid services. You’ll supervise, manage legal risk, and contribute to life-changing client outcomes, supported by a collaborative team.

Main Responsibilities:

• Provide technical leadership and manage caseworkers, trainees, and solicitors.
• Handle a portfolio of Legal Aid and private immigration cases, including:
• Asylum, human rights, detention work; victims of trafficking and torture; entry clearance appeals, judicial reviews, and tribunal cases.
• Oversee case allocation and capacity planning.
• Prepare and manage Legal Aid funding applications and documentation.
• Draft legal documents (witness statements, representations, bundles).
• Attend conferences, hearings, and court as needed.
• Deliver internal training, support supervision standards, and ensure legal quality.
• Contribute to business development, networking, and marketing initiatives.

Key Skills Required:

• Practicing Certificate (clean and valid) and IAAS Level 2 Senior Caseworker accreditation (required at application).
• Proven supervisory experience and performance management skills.
• Excellent knowledge of immigration, asylum, detention, and public law.
• Strong understanding of Legal Aid funding, billing, and compliance.
• Exceptional client care skills, especially with vulnerable clients.
• Collaborative leadership style with a focus on training and mentoring.
• Solid advocacy experience is advantageous.
• Proficiency with IT and case management systems.
• Experience with advocacy in immigration tribunals.
• Experience in private client immigration and/or adoption matters.
• Familiarity with internal audits, capacity reporting, and team performance monitoring.
