Full Job Description
You will lead our policy development and projects on immigration and asylum issues, and support colleagues in the public law team on other issues such as human rights, mental health law, criminal law and family law.
Keeping up to date with policy and legal developments, you will spot and respond to opportunities for positive reforms. You will research and analyse the impact of changes on our members, access to justice and the rule of law, and provide reliable and well-informed advice and leadership. Often you will prepare written briefings and guidance for internal and external audiences, and occasionally you will give oral presentations.
You will liaise with key internal and external stakeholders including colleagues, members of the Law Society, government, parliament and civil society. Working with colleagues from the policy, media, public affairs and other teams, you will help to ensure that our policy positions have maximum influence and visibility, and report on their impact showing how they deliver our strategic goals., Please note we're not responsible for the content of job ads, as they're posted by the recruiter. We'll aim to resolve the reported issue and we'll use your feedback to improve the quality of our ads.
You will be an experienced policy professional with a proven track record of identifying opportunities for influence and making an impact. You will have either some expertise in immigration and/or asylum law or the ability to develop that quickly, alongside a good working knowledge of broad public law issues.
You will be skilled in researching and analysing complex issues and assessing their implications for the profession, the rule of law and access to justice. You will have excellent skills in drafting concise, clear and accurate policy papers, briefings and guidance for a range of audiences, and be comfortable giving persuasive oral presentations.
You will also be experienced in building and maintaining effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders at all levels and be able to work both pro-actively and reactively, often with minimal supervision and to tight deadlines.
We offer hybrid working (minimum eight days a month working on site), a generous flexible benefits package, a friendly working environment and the opportunity to develop your career within a professional organisation.
While this role is advertised as full time, we are willing to consider 80%-90% for the right candidate.
Please note: if you are an internal applicant, Pay Policy will apply.
