We are looking for a for a new Director & Head of Legal Practice to take forward this unique, niche Law Centre.  There is an opportunity for expanding the work of the Law Centre and showcasing the worth of health justice partnerships.  The current Director has been involved in the Law Centre for the last 18 years and has been the Director for a decade.  The Law Centre is restructuring, creating a new part-time role of Office Manager to assist the new Director with the administration of the Law Centre.

We are looking for an energetic and compassionate lawyer with a broad experience of either housing or community care casework and representation, who is capable of being a legal aid category supervisor in either area, who has the confidence to lead the team and to develop it so that we can continue to make a real difference within the community.
