The Role
This is a great chance to join a busy policy team to cover family leave. The team helps the Law Society shape public policy to deliver our corporate strategy for our members and the public interest.
You will lead our policy development and projects on immigration and asylum issues, and support colleagues in the public law team on other issues such as human rights, mental health law, criminal law and family law.
Keeping up to date with policy and legal developments, you will spot and respond to opportunities for positive reforms. You will research and analyse the impact of changes on our members, access to justice and the rule of law, and provide reliable and well-informed advice and leadership. Often you will prepare written briefings and guidance for internal and external audiences, and occasionally you will give oral presentations.
You will liaise with key internal and external stakeholders including colleagues, members of the Law Society, government, parliament and civil society. Working with colleagues from the policy, media, public affairs and other teams, you will help to ensure that our policy positions have maximum influence and visibility, and report on their impact showing how they deliver our strategic goals.
This is an exciting and varied role where your expertise, knowledge and skills will be used to great effect to make a real difference for our members, the rule of law and access to justice.
What we're looking for
You will be an experienced policy professional with a proven track record of identifying opportunities for influence and making an impact. You will have either some expertise in immigration and/or asylum law or the ability to develop that quickly, alongside a good working knowledge of broad public law issues.
You will be skilled in researching and analysing complex issues and assessing their implications for the profession, the rule of law and access to justice. You will have excellent skills in drafting concise, clear and accurate policy papers, briefings and guidance for a range of audiences, and be comfortable giving persuasive oral presentations.
You will also be experienced in building and maintaining effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders at all levels and be able to work both pro-actively and reactively, often with minimal supervision and to tight deadlines.
What's in it for you
This is an excellent opportunity to work in a progressive membership organisation dedicated to supporting solicitors, protecting access to justice and promoting the rule of law. We have a strong reputation for excellence and legal expertise, and are committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion, and a culture of trust, clarity, excellence and respect.
We offer hybrid working (minimum eight days a month working on site), a generous flexible benefits package, a friendly working environment and the opportunity to develop your career within a professional organisation.
While this role is advertised as full time, we are willing to consider 80%-90% for the right candidate.

Join Us at Citizens Advice Camden
Citizens Advice Camden is an independent local charity with over 85 years experience providing free, confidential, and impartial advice to help people resolve their legal, financial, and other problems. We are proud of our commitment to tackling inequality and helping those in our community who need support the most. Our work spans a broad range of social welfare law issues and we are known for delivering high-quality, holistic advice and casework.
Supporting Families at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital
Since 2008, Citizens Advice Camden has provided a pioneering and well-regarded advice service at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) — the first of its kind in a UK children’s hospital. The service supports families of seriously ill and disabled children who are receiving treatment at GOSH, helping them navigate the life-changing socio-economic impacts of their child’s illness. We work closely with GOSH staff and partners — including social workers, family support officers, chaplains, and other stakeholders — to offer technical advice and casework that complements the hospital’s wider support services.
The issues families face can include reduced income, unsuitable housing, debt, and accessing benefits — especially during long or repeated hospital stays. Many families continue to receive our support over months or years, and our work is rooted in partnership, compassion, and a strong commitment to GOSH’s ‘One Team’ ethos.
The Role: Generalist Adviser/Caseworker
We are seeking an experienced adviser/caseworker to join the service. The successful candidate will deliver high-quality, holistic advice and in-depth casework across a range of social welfare issues, with a strong focus on welfare benefits (including appeals) and housing, including complex and disrepair cases. You will provide tailored, long-term support to families, managing multi-issue caseloads with sensitivity and a commitment to empowering clients. Close collaboration with healthcare and support professionals at GOSH is essential to ensure integrated and effective service delivery. You will also contribute to research and campaigns by gathering social policy evidence and maintain accurate, detailed case records to support monitoring and evaluation.
To succeed in this role, you will need experience in advice and casework—particularly in welfare benefits and housing—along with confidence in using digital systems and tools for remote working. You should be proactive, well-organised, and capable of handling a demanding and emotionally complex workload. Strong communication skills are essential, as is an understanding of the social and economic challenges faced by families of seriously ill children. You must hold, or be able to provide evidence of meeting, MaPS accreditation at advice and casework level.
Being available onsite is an important aspect of this role and so this role is hybrid working. The exact split between remote/onsite working will be by agreement with the line manager and to meet the needs of the project, which could change over time.
Appointment to the role is subject to being granted GOSH honorary staff status, which includes full compliance with GOSH policies and training requirements, as well as a satisfactory enhanced DBS check.
If you’re passionate about making a difference and have the experience and empathy to support families we’d love to hear from you.
