The Work Rights Centre, in partnership with the LEF Fellowship Programme, is looking for a Trainee Solicitor to join our ambitious and driven team. We are a charity set up by migrants and for migrants, and every day our multilingual team of legal advisers stand up for their employment rights and secure their immigration status. 

This is an ideal opportunity for a candidate with a strong sense of justice, who is looking to build a career in a legal profession. This role will suit someone who values impact, and the opportunity to make a real  difference in the lives of vulnerable migrant workers and disadvantaged Britons.

You will be able to learn from three experienced solicitors, exercise your skills as an adviser, and progress your career in a friendly and supportive environment. The LEF Fellowship Programme will cover the cost of your mandatory legal training and exams. By the end of two years you will have had the chance to complete your SQE training and gain the required practical experience to fully qualify as a solicitor.

The role

As the Trainee Solicitor,  you’ll work on a stimulating range of issues across two wide areas of law -  Immigration (in Year 1) and Employment (in Year 2). You will learn how best to support vulnerable clients with limited English language and digital skills, how to spot signs of modern slavery or manage safeguarding concerns.

Working with our immigration team, you will help clients understand and secure their immigration status in the UK. You will support clients who have limited leave to remain (e.g. on employer-sponsored visas, Ukraine Visa Schemes, or pre-settled EUSS status) or who are entirely undocumented. Working with our employment team, you will work on cases involving non-payment of wages, non-provision of work, unlawful deductions, race and gender discrimination, or unfair dismissals. Crucially, you will have the opportunity to understand the real-life intersection of the two areas of law, as they are often experienced by the same clients. 

This is a brilliant opportunity to gain well-rounded experience across all stages of the legal process, including interviewing clients, collecting information and assessing evidence, taking down witness statements, providing over the phone and written advice, and collating evidence bundles. 

Alongside your legal work and SQE2 study, you will complete an independent social justice project aligned with your personal interests and objectives of the charity. This might entail legal research, sourcing strategic cases, or compiling data on the impact of the current policies. Working on this project will give you an opportunity to conduct strategic legal work contributing to systemic change. 

The fellowship programme will cover the cost of both your legal training and wide-skills training, as well as providing you with well-being support. Please find a full list of benefits on the LEF website.

About you

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and confident colleague who shares our commitment to providing excellent legal advice to migrant workers. Key criteria include:

• Completed and passed (or expect to pass by 14 March 2026) the Legal Practice Course (LPC) OR have an undergraduate degree and completed and passed SQE Part 1.

• Enthusiastic and proactive, motivated by a strong sense of justice.

• Confident and resourceful, you enjoy public-facing work and are keen to learn.

• Experience of working with  marginalised migrant communities

• Experience of working in a team, and progressing towards shared objectives.

• Can demonstrate commitment to social justice, and the aims and values of the Work Rights Centre.

About us

Remember A Charity

Remember A Charity is a vibrant behaviour change campaign that aims to inspire the public to leave a charitable gift in their Will. Working collaboratively, the campaign’s mission is to do what no organisation can do alone, growing the legacy market and normalising charitable gifts in Wills.

Why grow legacy giving? Charitable gifts in Wills are one of the largest sources of voluntary income in the UK, raising £4.5 billion for good causes each year. As such, it’s a crucial source of income for thousands of charities, particularly in the current economic climate.

Established in 2000, Remember A Charity now represents almost 200 member charities, who work together to drive change through inspiring consumer campaigns, strategic partnerships with solicitors, Will-writers and professional advisers, and by lobbying government to enhance the wider legacy giving environment. The consortium encompasses a diverse range of charities, giving them the platform, resources and guidance to maximise their legacy fundraising. Remember A Charity works all year round to promote legacy giving, also running Remember A Charity Week each September as a central focal point for public awareness activity.

Our four key strategic pillars are:

• Inspiring the UK public to leave a charitable legacy
• Embedding legacy giving across Will-writing and estate planning
• Influencing government & decision-makers to protect and nurture the future of charitable legacies
• Equipping & enabling our members to maximise their legacy fundraising

Remember A Charity is part of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and our goals align with its strategic priority of growing charitable giving.

Chartered Institute of Fundraising (CIOF)

The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is the UK's professional membership body for fundraisers, championing excellence, providing professional development and education, and fostering connections across the sector. We've launched a new ten-year strategy to tackle critical challenges like diminishing income, increasing demand for services, and issues such as fundraiser burnout and lack of investment that are impacting charities nationwide. We believe that every fundraiser should feel valued and nurtured.

This strategy focuses on four key pillars with clear five and ten-year targets: attracting, retaining, and nurturing fundraising talent to combat the "revolving door"; reframing the narrative to change perceptions of fundraising and drive investment; driving excellent fundraising practice, setting standards, ethics and guidance to build public trust; and fostering a culture that inspires more people to give to reverse declining donor numbers. Our ultimate aim is to double our impact in a decade, ensuring a sustainable future for both fundraisers and charities.
