Remote, with up to twice-monthly visits to London (travel costs not covered)
Closing 15th October 2023

Working Families’ legal advice services (LAS) team works at the forefront of access to justice for parents and carers at work. Many parents and carers find that the ‘system’ – including employers’ approaches to flexible working, available in-work benefits, leave and entitlement to time off – doesn’t allow them to work and care and thrive. We want to change that.

We are looking for a professional and enthusiastic employment lawyer to join our team as a maternity cover to advise parents and carers on employment law and benefits, as well as having a supervisory role in the team. We are looking for someone to join the team from the Autumn 2023 and anticipate this will be a fixed term role for maternity cover.

You will also help to shape the law in this area by collaborating with our policy team by providing information and guidance informed by our service users. You may be required deputise for the Head of Legal Advice Services in the day to day running of the Legal Advice Service (along with the other Senior Rights Advisors) in the Head of Legal’s absence.
