Job ad: immigration and public lawyer (maternity cover), ATLEU

We are looking for a dynamic and committed individual to join our legal team as an Immigration and Public Lawyer (maternity cover for 12 months). This is an exciting role, offering opportunities for growth and development in immigration and public law through work on emerging issues affecting victims of trafficking, with potential for strategic litigation and systemic change.

• Provide immigration and public law advice and representation to survivors of trafficking and slavery under a legal aid contract. ATLEU has offices in London and Sheffield and we welcome applications to work in either office.

Within ATLEU, lawyers balance fee-earning work with opportunities to research and develop strategic challenges and to share knowledge through developing and delivering training and second-tier advice.

We will consider applications from both those who are relatively new to immigration casework (accredited to Level 1 of the Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme) and those with more significant experience and higher accreditation and legal qualification. More details are included in the application pack.

• Hours: Full Time (35 hours per week) or Part Time. Flexible and remote working arrangements available
• Salary: £27,000 to £40,740 (London) full time or pro-rata; £25,000 to £37,722 (Sheffield), full time or pro-rata. Salary will be based on ATLEU's salary scale that covers caseworkers with immigration accreditation up to solicitors without supervision responsibilities and supervising solicitors (with category supervisor status).
• Leave: 33 days a year (including bank holidays)

Deadline: The deadline for applications is 10am on Monday 1 August 2022.
