• Attend conferences, hearings, and court as needed.
• Deliver internal training, supervise standards, and ensure legal quality.
• Contribute to business development, networking, and marketing initiatives.

• Practicing Certificate (valid) and IAAS Level 2 Senior Caseworker accreditation (at application time).
• Proven supervisory experience managing performance and KPIs.
• Strong knowledge of immigration, asylum, detention, and public law.
• Knowledge of Legal Aid funding, billing, and compliance.
• Exceptional client care skills, especially with vulnerable clients.
• Collaborative leadership and mentoring skills.
