A unique opportunity for an experienced solicitor committed to social justice.
We seek an experienced solicitor (3 years PQE) with expertise in civil litigation and a commitment to social justice to lead our legal work.
This role offers the right candidate a unique opportunity to build a strategic caseload that challenges systemic inequality and injustice. Supported by the Operations Director, who is responsible for all operational and contract management, the postholder will identify and take cases that have the greatest impact for communities in our region and progress the burgeoning body of rights based legislation in Wales.
We are particularly keen to hear from people with experience of legally aided litigation in either housing or family, and knowledge of relevant Welsh law.
We know that the right person might not meet all our criteria, and we’re open to applications from suitably qualified people who are genuinely passionate about what we do.
Hours, work patterns and remote working will be discussed with the successful candidate based on their specific needs. 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.
