Job description

Job ad: immigration and public lawyer (maternity cover), ATLEU

We are looking for a dynamic and committed individual to join our legal team as an Immigration and Public Lawyer (maternity cover for 12 months). This is an exciting role, offering significant opportunities for growth and development, to increase your immigration and public law experience and knowledge through working on emerging issues affecting victims of trafficking, with enormous potential for strategic litigation and effecting change for this hugely vulnerable group.

Within ATLEU, lawyers are able to balance fee-earning work alongside opportunities to research and develop strategic challenges and share their knowledge through developing and delivering training and second-tier advice.

The role involves providing immigration and public law advice and representation to survivors of trafficking and slavery under a legal aid contract. ATLEU has offices in London and Sheffield and we welcome applications to work in either office.

We will consider applications from both those who are relatively new to immigration casework, i.e. accredited to Level 1 of the Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme, alongside those with more significant experience of immigration casework and with a higher level of accreditation and legal qualification.

Hours: Full Time (35 hours per week) or Part Time. Flexible and remote working arrangements available

Salary: £27,000 to £40,740 (London) full time or pro-rata
£25,000 to £37,722 (Sheffield), full time or pro-rata

Leave: 33 days a year (including bank holidays)

The deadline for applications is 10am on Monday 1 August 2022.

ATLEU is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, or age.
