IMMIGRATION CASEWORKERS (London)

We are looking to recruit a small number of high calibre graduates to join our team as caseworkers. You will be working alongside one of our twelve solicitors who specialise in this field. You will get hands on experience of immigration law including representing asylum seekers in their claims for protection. The work embraces both human rights law and refugee law. Previous holders of this position have gone on to become trainee solicitors in the firm and then on to successful careers as solicitors in the firm. Others have followed a casework career with the firm.

Full training will be given and we will help you to become accredited so that you will have the SRA Level 1 qualification (and move on to the Level 2 qualification).

You should have a very good academic record (2.1 minimum) and ideally be able to show a commitment to this area of law through your academic studies or previous work experience, including voluntary or campaigning work. You should have a commitment to working in the legal aid sector.

This position is suitable for both those looking for a career as a caseworker and those planning to study for the GDL, LPC or BVC in the future. We also welcome applications from those studying for their GDL, LPC or BVC part-time.

We are looking for people who can take up the position at the beginning of September 2009 or soon after.

To apply please complete the application form which can be found on the Working with Us page
