A fantastic opportunity to build knowledge of the UK asylum system, gain experience of casework and deliver an essential service to asylum seekers.
About the team:
The Public Law team operates within our Legal Access Department, assisting with two main areas of concern:
Supporting asylum seekers housed in unsuitable accommodation, specifically on vessels (such as the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland) and former MoD sites. We provide one-to-one casework for individuals accommodated at these sites, gathering information to support a transfer request to more suitable accommodation, and gathering data and evidence for wider legal challenges to the Home Office’s use of these sites.
Additionally, we support individuals who have received notices that they are being considered for the UK’s Rwanda policy. Similarly, we provide one-to-one casework for these individuals, gathering information that would be essential to challenging removals in the event of another flight to Rwanda, as we saw in June 2022.
As part of this team, you will be able to support clients independently and manage your own time and caseload, while also working as part of a team towards the same goal. So, if you thrive in a collaborative environment and are looking for a role where you can make a real difference, we want to hear from you!
