410 Mental health jobs

The Justice First Fellowship (JFF) is LEF’s flagship scheme to support the next generation of social justice lawyers. Since 2014, more than 190 fellowships have been awarded across all four nations in the UK over thirteen cohorts. 

As of June 2024, the foundation has invested around £12.2 million into the scheme with additional contributions from other funders totaling £5 million. 

The Justice First Fellowship Officer, and the post holder will play a key part in ensuring the successful delivery of the JFF programme. As part of a small and collaborative grants team, the JFF Officer role is varied and will include overseeing the coordination of events and training, acting as a key point of contact for fellows as well as administration, communication and relationship management. The candidate will join us at an exciting time as we explore opportunities to help further develop the support provided to our fellows.

The JFF team consists of this post and the JFF Manager and sits within LEF’s grants team (Director of Grants and Learning, Head of Grants, Senior Grant Manager, Grant Manager and two Grants Officers). The JFF Officer will work closely with other colleagues at LEF, particularly in administration and communications. The role will also include some UK travel.
