The role requires experience of managing legal aid cases, using case management systems, and complying with regulatory requirements, including applying for and extending legal aid certificates and submitting claims for payment.

The position requires resilience, empathy, and strong organisational skills, as it involves working with vulnerable clients and exposure to distressing material. Candidates should demonstrate knowledge of self-care principles and the ability to support colleagues in maintaining wellbeing in an intense working environment. Excellent communication skills, the ability to work autonomously, and a commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion are essential. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to both individual client outcomes and wider systemic change, influencing the growth of the Public Law team and advancing Asylum Aid’s mission to protect and support refugees, asylum seekers, and survivors of trafficking and human rights violations.
