We are a category 1 Legal Aid Immigration provider and we have considerable experience across the range of immigration work with experience of running cases at all levels of the Tribunal and Courts.

The candidate must be an experienced IAAS Level 2 or above Asylum & Immigration Solicitor, able to work effectively with partner agencies in the voluntary sector, and should have the ability to deliver work outside office hours from time to time to meet the needs of our young clients and to ensure their voices inform our work.
