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 while fostering a culture of continuous learning, compliance, and compassion in line with our firm’s values.

* Draft high-quality legal documents (witness statements, representations, bundles).
* Attend conferences, hearings, and court as required.
* Deliver internal training, support supervision standards, and ensure legal quality across the team.
* 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 with performance and KPI management.
* Excellent knowledge of immigration, asylum, detention, and public law.
* Strong understanding of Legal Aid funding, billing, and compliance processes.
* Exceptional client care skills, especially with vulnerable individuals.
