- No formal advocacy experience required – just the confidence to negotiate and support clients at court.
✅ Requirements
- Minimum 3 years of housing casework experience
- Willing to undertake a short online supervisor course (fully funded).
- Strong negotiation, legal research, and time management skills
- Comfortable travelling to different sites and meeting clients face to face.

The Offer
- Join a supportive and experienced legal team with a strong mentoring culture.
- Real progression opportunities as the organisation continues to grow.
- Encouragement and support for further qualifications and training contracts.
- Meaningful, community-based work with a tangible impact.
