Job Title - Head of Legal Aid and Billing
Contract - Permanent
Hours - Part Time, 21 hours per week (0.6 FTE) with some flexibility around working hours
Salary Range - £28,800 to £34,800 per annum (£48,000 to £58,000 FTE)
Location - London office - Coram Campus, 41 Brunswick Square, London WC1N 1AZ
About Coram
Coram is the UK’s oldest children’s charity founded by Thomas Coram in London helping vulnerable children and young people since 1739. Today, the Coram group helps more than one million children, young people, families and professionals every year by providing access to the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.
One of the nine members of the Coram group, Coram Children’s Legal Centre (CCLC) is the UK’s specialist centre for children’s rights in education, immigration, community care and family law, and provides significant international legal systems consultancy. The centre is located on the Coram Campus in central London with a base in Colchester. We champion access to justice through information and advice, legal practice and representation, policy and strategic litigation. Our Legal Practice Unit provides advice and representation primarily under legal aid contract. Our Policy and Practice Change team promotes practice change through training and capacity building to professionals and secures systems change through research, policy and advocacy.
About the role
This role will provide leadership and management for CCLC particularly focused on the Legal Practice Unit’s legal aid billing operations. Through systematic and efficient management, the post-holder will play a pivotal role in CCLC’s financial and operational sustainability. The role will be accountable for maximising the unit’s legal aid billing in controlled work, certificated work and inter partes costs and will hold responsibility for the unit’s billing systems. It will also be responsible for private fees billing. The post-holder will oversee the smooth running of legal aid billing including through line management of the billing team. The post-holder will work very closely with legal, operations and administrative staff. The role will act as a key point of contact for a range of internal and external stakeholders including Coram’s central finance team who will support the role with grant fund management and overall accounting functions for CCLC. The post-holder will support the Managing Director of Legal Practice and Children’s Rights and department heads in the successful maintenance of our relationship with the Legal Aid Agency. Where appropriate they will be deputising for the Managing Director on legal aid and financial matters.
The role would suit a highly organised and efficient legal, or a finance or billing professional with solid experience of legal practice and a deep understanding of the challenges of legal aid. Whilst candidates with direct experience of legal billing (and more specifically civil legal aid billing) are welcomed, we recognise that this is a highly specialised and niche field. As such, this role could suit a highly experienced solicitor who appreciates the important role developing sustainable businesses plays in ensuring access to justice and who therefore wishes to move into practice and financial management. They will need an aptitude for processing large amounts of data, developing and managing spreadsheets and improving organisational systems. However, they will be well supported through training, an enthusiastic and competent junior billing team, the central finance team and an outsourced legal cashiering company, as well as a friendly and collaborative management team including the Managing Director and the Heads of Education Law, Community Care Law and Immigration and Asylum Law.
This is a largely office-based role in order to fully provide support to the billing team. However, some remote / hybrid working may be possible depending the experience of the candidate after the initial settling in period and there will be flexibility over how the three days will be spread across the week (within working hours). The team are mostly based in the London office and with one billing team member in Colchester so the post holder may require some occasional travel.

The Brooke is a global animal welfare organisation working with communities around the world to improve the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules. The impact is tangible and human; the stories, endless. The content practically writes itself.
You’ll be the voice and face of the mid-value programme, building meaningful connections with supporters who give between £500 and £5,000, helping them see exactly how their generosity transforms lives. Alongside that, you’ll oversee and grow regular giving, testing, scaling and refining new products to strengthen lifetime value and long-term sustainability.
It’s a hands-on role that needs someone comfortable working across digital and mail campaigns, managing external suppliers, and making data-led decisions about where to test, invest and grow. You’ll work closely with the wider fundraising and comms team to ensure supporters move seamlessly between mid-value and major donor programmes, and you’ll have support to deliver the stewardship and campaign logistics.
The team is ambitious, collaborative and well connected across the organisation. Fundraising and communications work as one, with shared goals, strong internal relationships and a deep understanding of the projects being delivered in the field. It’s a healthy, growing environment with a focus on innovation, impact and people.
You’ll bring
- Experience in relationship-led fundraising, ideally across mid-value or regular giving
- Confidence managing multi-channel campaigns and digital journeys
- An analytical eye for performance and testing
- Curiosity, warmth and a genuine interest in connecting supporters with impact
- A collaborative, sleeves-rolled-up approach – this is a team that gets stuck in together
In return, you’ll join a financially stable, forward-looking charity with ambitious plans for supporter growth and a culture that knows people by name, not job title.
Interviews: First round w/c 25 November (Teams), second round in person.
To apply: Get in touch to discuss your experience and what draws you to The Brooke’s mission.
