Established by the Legal Education Foundation, since 2014 JFF has supported 125 Fellows to qualify, with the vast majority still working in social justice law. As a JFF Fellow at Shelter, you will complete your legal training with us and the cost of undertaking any mandatory training to qualify will be covered as well. You will also develop a project in collaboration with Shelter and benefit from professional development and wider skills training via JFF alongside wellbeing support. And you will become part of the JFF network, a movement of lawyers using the law for social justice.

About the role

You will be based in our Birmingham Hub, working under the housing and public law legal aid contracts as well as having the opportunity to support Shelter’s test cases and interventions.

The training will give you the opportunity to develop and apply the skills you will need as a qualified solicitor. These include advocacy and oral presentation, case and transaction management, client care and practice support, communication, dispute resolution, drafting, interviewing and advising, legal research and negotiation.

Your role will support the solicitors within Birmingham hub to play a key part in tackling housing injustice and unfair housing practices. You will develop your skills through a mixture of completing work unsupervised, assisting others and observing experienced practitioners.

You will work with colleagues in the Birmingham hub to ensure people in our communities are aware of their rights, know how to enforce them and represent people who need specialist legal advice.

In this pivotal role, you'll be at the forefront of developing and implementing MSI's sustainable success model for our clinic and maternity services. You'll drive innovation, shape best practices, and contribute to the global conversation on private sector health strengthening.

Specifically, as our Director for centres and maternities you will:

• Spearhead the development of operational best practices collaborating with a cross-functional team of experts.
• Design and test innovative business models and channel innovations, providing guidance to both country and regional implementation specialists
• Provide strategic guidance on health financing models and revenue cycles to optimise our financial sustainability.
• Lead external engagement efforts, representing MSI at conferences, publishing articles, and contributing to sector-wide learning on the private sector

The Director is a member of the Senior Leadership Team of MSI and is a member of the Technical Services Team. This role reports to the VP & Director of the Technical Services Department.

You should be comfortable working across cultures and at all levels of organizations, (including the Executive Team at MSI), building trust and fostering collaboration among team members, partners, and decision-makers. You should possess a track record in achieving ambitious goals at a senior level.
• Communication: Your communication skills should be excellent, allowing you to present complex ideas with clarity and confidence in various settings, from international meetings to practical technical workshops. We are looking for someone who can tell compelling data-driven stories, translating technical information for both expert and non-expert audiences.
• Problem solving and analytical thinking: You should bring highly developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills to the table. We need someone who can approach complex issues methodically, identifying patterns and trends in information, and proposing practical, innovative solutions. Experience in developing new models to enhance performance will be essential.

If you're passionate about making a global impact on sexual and reproductive health and rights, and you possess this unique blend of skills and experience, we want to hear from you. Join us in our mission to leave no one behind in accessing crucial SRHR services.
