Senior Immigration Caseworker/Solicitor

Manuel Bravo Project is a charity that provides free legal representation to asylum seekers.

The project consists of an in-house casework team undertaking asylum and Immigration casework, an outreach project providing free initial immigration advice, and pro bono projects supported by both legal and non-legal volunteers.

We are hoping to expand our team, as one of our members of staff is on maternity leave, but we have resources to recruit permanently, especially for the right candidate. We seek an experienced level 2/3 registered IAA Caseworker or, ideally a IAAS L2 accredited advisor/Solicitor to provide representation for asylum seekers for appeals and further submissions. We would also expect the post-holder to advise individuals attending our outreach services on a regular basis. 

The Project is registered with the IAA.

The Caseworker will be based at the Project’s main office in Leeds with a mix of in-office and remote working possible. Travel to other venues in connection with the post will be necessary from time to time.
