Who we are
Every year, thousands of people in the UK face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, people must represent themselves at a moment that could have life-changing outcomes. This includes loss of access to children or homelessness. At the same time, people facing court alone may find themselves up against a party with legal representation. They are instantly at a disadvantage and overwhelmed by the enormity of the challenges they are up against. We supported unrepresented litigants in the civil and family courts in England and Wales over 45,000 times last year.
We provide a safe space with volunteers who listen to each client’s individual story. Last year, over 1000 volunteers helped people to get their thoughts in order, problem-solve and decide next steps, source relevant and reliable legal information, explain complex procedures, complete court forms, and clearly present statements.
At a time when legal support is increasingly limited, we have a vision that no one should have to face court alone.
To make this vision a reality, we have a focused communications strategy to ensure the charity has the brand, reach and impact it needs to connect with unrepresented court users and engage supporters.
Who we're looking for
Ambitious, professional, committed and friendly. That describes us. If it also describes you and you have a passion for communications, then we’re keen to hear from you.
We’re looking for a Communications Manager to join our team for maternity cover. You’ll be stewarding our 25th anniversary communications plan and helping us to connect with our stakeholders, especially with those in the legal sector. As well as overseeing our website and social media, you’ll be supporting the service team in connecting with volunteers and clients and supporting the fundraising team in engaging donors.
The role
The Communications Manager role is a cross-organisation role, and you’ll be supported by the CEO and the Head of Fundraising. You’ll also be able to build on the firm foundations we already have in place, with plans agreed for our 25th year.
We’re open to applications from communications professionals who want to work hybrid from the Royal Courts of Justice in London or want to work from home.
To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter about why you're the right person for the role via Charity Job.
