LawWorks (the Solicitors Pro Bono Group) is a charity which enables access to justice by encouraging and supporting legal pro bono in England and Wales. Supported by the Law Society, we work primarily with solicitors, law schools and law students, and other legal and non-legal volunteers and organisations.

Clinic Support and Development Officer – North of England

Hours: Part-time - 2 or 2.5 days (17.5 or 14 hours – salary pro rata)

Salary: £13,772 per annum (£27,543 full-time equivalent)

This is an exciting opportunity to support and develop pro bono clinics and help enable access to justice.

We support a growing network of over 300 local independent pro bono (free) advice clinics across England and Wales. We work with lawyers, advice agencies, charities and others to establish or develop new clinics, and provide ongoing information and support, training and resources for clinic volunteers and coordinators.

Our experience in the different regions in England and in Wales has shown the value of having staff based locally to support pro bono initiatives, develop new pro bono opportunities and to increase engagement from the local legal profession.

This role will focus on building on the support we have been providing in the North of England (the north east, north west and Yorkshire and the Humber). You will work to identify opportunities to develop new pro bono clinics to address unmet legal needs, and to engage with stakeholders to celebrate and share learning on the pro bono work being delivered.

Whilst some travel and in-person meetings will be required, much of the work is carried out remotely.

We take an innovative and tailored approach to the support we provide, and you will provide one-to-one support for individual clinics, to help identify and address legal need, providing help with insurance, regulatory queries, finding volunteers and also access to online tools.

We are looking for a confident networker who is able to identify opportunities  and see them through to completion. All of LawWorks’ work is delivered through partnerships so it is essential that the candidate is personable, collaborative and an effective communicator.

A background in the legal or advice sector will be an advantage, but not essential. The role offers variety, autonomy, the opportunity to develop new initiatives from idea to launch, and a chance to support local communities.

More information about the role and how to apply is available on the LawWorks website.

The deadline for applications is 5.00pm on Wednesday 15th December. Interviews for those shortlisted are planned for 6th or 7th January.

LawWorks is an equal opportunities employer. We encourage applications irrespective of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.

Do you want to use your skills to bring real change to people in greatest need? Tearfund has an exciting opportunity for a Design Support Officer to join their Communications for Development team.

The Communications for Development (C4D) team is building a global community who are learning together, online and offline, to equip themselves with knowledge and skills to face the challenges of poverty and injustice in our world.

The successful applicant will support design processes that uphold Tearfund's brand and have a positive impact in Tearfund's international work. We're looking for a creative and organised individual with a strong understanding of the design process, design file management and brand guardianship across publications, digital channels, e-learning and video.

You will have strong organisational and typographic skills. You will have the expertise and experience to artwork and develop a professional design file as well as the attention to detail to methodically format a Google doc report template.

You will be as comfortable coordinating feedback, files and information for design agencies, as you are advising and equipping international operational staff in generating brand-compliant outputs through templates or Microsoft Word.

As a team we are building communications capacity in Tearfund's international offices. You will be contributing to scalable design infrastructure that will help the brand to be accessible and relevant to producers with and without a design background. We are looking for a team player who is passionate about empowering others to bring sustainable change.

Do your skills and experience match the above? Then we'd love to hear from you!

This role is four days per week and can be based in any country where Tearfund is registered and able to employ staff.

Competitive salary based on location.

Applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs.

The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.
