We actively encourage people from all sections of the community to apply, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion.

We are proud to be known as the first ever Law Centre to open its doors in England. Our story began in 1970, when we saw the need to campaign and gain justice for some of the most poor and disadvantaged in the North Kensington communities.

We have continued to adapt to the needs of our community for almost five decades, we have been challenged ourselves but we have always remained true to our roots and continue to be a legal service with a social conscience.

The successful candidate is expected to create a local profile which will lead to the emergence of a caseload proportional to the demand. NKLC is open to applications from candidates seeking flexible working arrangements.
