Our Law Centre helps local people across south-west London to access justice and uphold their everyday rights, by providing specialist legal advice on social justice issues including housing, employment, debt, benefits, asylum and immigration.  Without the free or low-cost legal services our charity provides, many people we help would be locked out of accessing justice, because they can’t afford a lawyer.

The candidate will take over from our previous Communications Manager who, with the initial one-year seed funding, helped us to shape our brand guidelines, celebrate our 45th anniversary and will be launching our new website before they leave.

During the year we increased our profile. The national Law Centres Network gave us the Law Centre Excellence award for having rebuilt, consolidated and now become a leading Law Centre, saying: ‘We want to recognise the team not just for their high quality legal work, but also for their kindness, sensitivity and tenacity in securing the best outcomes for people who have suffered so much.’We were also featured on the BBC’s The One Show in February, in a 4-minute piece broadcast to four million viewers. The Communications Manager has helped us to tell this story. Our Law Centre has just been shortlisted for the prestigious Legal Aid Firm of the year 2020 by the Legal Aid Practitioners Group (LAPG) – the membership body representing legal aid practitioners in England and Wales.

We are looking for an experienced candidate with a proven track record who can continue to develop our communications work, raise our profile and awareness of the issues our clients face, and inspire support. The role is a permanent one after completion of probation.

We’re the largest law centre in the UK and we provide a wide-ranging service helping thousands of people at difficult moments in their lives. Although recent cuts to funding and legal aid cuts since 2013 mean the environment we work is challenging, the impact of Covid19 and the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first law centre continue to highlight the importance of law centres’ work in communities.

It’s vital that our local community knows we’re here to help them, and this role is key to ensuring that. For instance, we want to develop our social media platforms so they connect with and engage local people and community groups, including potentially re-starting our Facebook page once our new website is in place.It’s also vital that this role continues to significantly raise the profile of the Law Centre with local and national stakeholders, potential funders and the general public. Having been a new post a year ago, this role is now an integral part of our Law Centre’s work.

The Law Centre also works with many firms and individual solicitors to deliver one of the largest pro bono free legal advice provisions in the UK. We have around 400 legal volunteers working with us every year, and we have started to keep in touch with them by e-newsletter. In the next phase of this role, we want to create an alumni of pro bono volunteers, as well as developing a strong and active supporter’s base.

The Communications Manager will be supported by Senior Management Team, but will also need to be a self-starter who has autonomy to think creatively, and the confidence and experience to lead our communications work, and collaborate with our team of expert advisers and support staff.

If you share our commitment to address injustice, discrimination, inequality and poverty, then this could be an exciting opportunity for you.
