Job description

If you are keen to use your legal training for the benefit of the public interest, we want to hear from you.  You might be a recent law graduate looking for advice experience, an existing adviser interested in qualifying as a solicitor (we train many of our staff to become solicitors), or an experienced lawyer looking for a new and exciting area of work. We can consider flexible or part-time arrangements for the right candidate.  

Protect is the UK’s leading whistleblowing charity with more than 30 years’ expertise.  We are unique in that we are the only free, confidential legal advice line for whistleblowers and were instrumental in creating the Public Interest Disclosure Act. We are regularly involved in the biggest legal cases concerning whistleblowing, and in recent years has intervened in most of the key Court of Appeal and Supreme Court whistleblowing cases. We also support organisations from FTSE250 to SMEs, across multiple sectors, in enhancing their whistleblowing arrangements, and we campaign for legal reform to better protect whistleblowing.  

We are now looking for an enthusiastic, driven and public-spirited individual to join our expert Whistleblowing Advice Line team.  

The Legal Adviser role will:  

  • Provide advice to individuals on how they can raise their whistleblowing concerns in the most effective manner, whilst doing so in a way which minimises the chance of them suffering negative repercussions as a result;  
  • Manage your own case load of whistleblowers, providing them with bespoke advice and support on their situation (once you have completed Protect’s training process);  
  • Update and enrich our ‘self-serve’ advice web pages;  
  • Assist in developing and improving the service, so that it best delivers on fulfilling Protect’s charitable objectives;  
  • Assist in other areas of the organisation’s work, including:   
  • Supporting the Policy team as they campaign for reform of whistleblowing law and practice;  
  • Assisting the Business Support team in their delivery of training and consultancy to businesses, charities and government bodies; and  
  • Working with Protect’s senior lawyers in their preparation of legal interventions in key whistleblower cases.  

Person Specification   

  • Genuine interest in using the law to uphold individual rights and the public interest   
  • Previous experience providing advice   
  • Law degree or legal training  
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced and intensive working environment   
  • Strong interpersonal skills   
  • Strong organisational and planning skills   
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team  
  • Commitment to outstanding client care   

Experience of delivering training and engaging with policy makers, or the business community, will also count favourably towards an application.
