Its purpose remains to provide a safe space for women coming together in solidarity to offer support, share information and help each other to survive and to get their leave to remain in the UK. Women are at the sharp end of the ‘hostile environment’ with punitive government immigration policies and practice. WAST enables a process of empowerment through which women gain the confidence and strength to voice their experience and campaign for justice.

WAST is a place of hope and belonging with its core values of compassion, respect, inclusion and empowerment and its continuous development of its trauma informed peer support approach.

WAST is proud of its pioneering work giving a voice to women seeking asylum and inspiring other women around the country to set up similar groups.

If you are committed to ensuring that those with lived experience of trafficking / modern slavery are able to work within the advice sector, have an interest in/experience of co-production and want to have a significant impact by helping ATLEU to deliver this project we would love to hear from you.

About Reprieve:

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again. 

In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins. 

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing. 

We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues. 

Reprieve’s main office is in Aldgate, London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

The Role:

The Unlawful Detentions Teams Caseworker will undertake a range of casework activities in support of Reprieve’s work on cases of unlawful detention, which comprises our work on detention cases in North East Syria (NES), and our Guantánamo Bay and Life after Guantánamo Projects.

About our NES work

There are currently thousands of people indefinitely detained in camps and prisons in NES, in conditions the UN has found to be inhumane and degrading. Reprieve aims to ensure that individuals detained in Syria are treated in line with international law, and not subjected to the death penalty, extrajudicial execution, arbitrary detention, torture or rendition. Where possible, we advocate for the release and repatriation of foreign nationals detained in NES, many of whom are victims of trafficking and / or minors. We also advocate for and support clients and their children after their release from arbitrary detention.

Through our work we also aim to challenge and change flawed ‘war on terror’ narratives and legal and political frameworks – including in the UK, Europe and the US – that engender state-sanctioned discrimination and abuse and undermine the rule of law and human rights and sometimes create two-tiered layers of citizenship rights for ethnic minorities in Western countries. For example, the British people detained in NES are often arbitrarily deprived of their citizenship, under powers that are used almost exclusively against Muslims, mainly of South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African heritage. This is done in an attempt to place them outside the reach of the law, and to avoid giving them the consular and legal protections to which they are entitled as citizens. 

About our Guantánamo work

Reprieve was one of the very first organisations allowed inside Guantánamo. Since then, we have secured freedom for more than 80 men illegally detained without charge or trial – more than any other organisation. Our unique Life after Guantánamo (LAG) project helps prisoners who have been released from Guantanamo but still face extreme human rights abuses related to their status as former Guantanamo detainees.

The Unity Project (TUP) supports people who are facing poverty and homelessness because their immigration status allows them ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF). We are seeking an experienced and qualified immigration advisor to manage our specialist casework service. 

We believe NRPF should not exist and we are working to end it. Until then, we seek to minimise its impact by supporting people to make the ‘change of conditions’ (CoC) application to access public funds. We are a small organisation which has achieved national systemic change through the clear strategic focus of our casework. As the number of people affected by NRPF continues to grow, we are looking to take our casework service to the next level so that we can support more individual applicants and deepen our impact.

As Legal Casework Manager, you will oversee the casework process from start to finish, prioritising compassionate and effective support to applicants and ensuring we meet all regulatory requirements, while also holding a limited personal caseload. You will supervise our dedicated team in London, overseeing their professional development and personal wellbeing.  You will also focus on the strategic impact of our project, identifying opportunities for improvement internally, and working closely with our Strategic Casework Lead and external partners to achieve systems change through litigation and other channels.

The Role

The Law Society is the professional body for solicitors in England and Wales. Our Governance Officers support our elected and appointed members, who are solicitors drawn from a wide variety of legal practice and sectors of the community and help shape the direction and views of the Law Society.

In this role you will be one of the Governance Officers within the Legal Policy Directorate responsible for providing an excellent secretariat service to our expert policy advisory committees. The committees you will support are primarily the Access to Justice Committee, Civil Justice Committee, and the Housing Law Committee. This may be subject to change depending on capacity across Governance Officers within the wider Directorate.

Governance Officers also cover for one another on an ad-hoc basis during periods of annual leave or sickness.

In this role you will be primarily responsible for scheduling and making all necessary arrangements for the meetings of the above committees. This will include drafting agendas, minutes and action lists, and collating and distributing meeting materials electronically. You will keep accurate records of committee activity and respond to queries in between meetings. You will also assist with some of the processes for appointing the Society's members to the committees.

What we're looking for

The ideal candidate will be highly organised and will have experience of preparing and supporting the running of large formal meetings. A knowledge of law and/or governance is not essential for this role but would be helpful particularly in dealing with the more technical aspects of committee business.

You will have experience of taking minutes and will have excellent written and verbal communication skills.

You will need to be able to pay attention to detail while managing competing priorities.

You will have experience of working with senior stakeholders, ideally with those who, like our elected and appointed members, are managing their voluntary commitments to us alongside often busy professional lives.

You will have IT literacy. We use MS Office 365 (including MS Teams for virtual meetings and collaboration). Appropriate training will be provided.

If you enjoy working in a fast-paced, stimulating policy environment, have prior experience of governance and believe this could be the right next role for you, please get in touch.

What's in it for you

This is an excellent opportunity to work with contemporary thinkers in a progressive membership organisation. The successful candidate will join a strong brand with a reputation for excellence and legal expertise, committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion, and a culture of trust, excellence, clarity and respect.

We offer hybrid working, a generous flexible benefits package, a friendly working environment and the opportunity to develop your career within a professional organisation.

Please note: if you are an internal applicant, Pay Policy will apply.

The Law Society represents solicitors in England and Wales. From negotiating with and lobbying the profession's regulators, government and other decision makers, to offering training and advice, we're here to help, protect and promote solicitors.
