Project Officer - Choices and ALLIES Projects

Salary: NJC point 23 (£23,497 inc ILW)
Hours: 24 hours per week

We require a Project Officer for the Choices and ALLIES (A Local Lawyer in Every School) Projects. The post holder will administer the matching of pro bono opportunities with solicitors who are not currently employed through the Choices Project. LawWorks Choices has developed the Guaranteed Interview Scheme, which volunteers are eligible for once they have completed 40 hours of pro bono work. The scheme enables volunteers to obtain a guaranteed interview with a LawWorks member firm when a position is available for which they are qualified. The post holder will liaise with law firms in relation to this scheme. The role will also involve providing administrative support to the ALLIES project which encourages lawyers to become school governors. You will be an excellent communicator, highly organised and ideally have some knowledge of the legal profession and/or the third sector.

Closing date: 5 July 2010 Interviews: 13-15 July 2010
