In addition, you can expect 35 days annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata), extra leave between Christmas and New Year, a commitment to investing in your professional development, a company pension scheme and comprehensive employee assistance programme. Wellbeing is a core value of North Wales Community Law, and we recognise that we all thrive when our needs are met.
Interviews will be held remotely the week beginning Monday 10th June.
We recognise the value of diverse perspectives in our work and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, communities, identities and experiences, including those with personal experience of the inequalities and injustices we seek to address.
