Caseworker

The Trans Legal Clinic is the first trans-led specialist gender identity legal charity in the UK. At its core, the Trans Legal Clinic is a human rights practice because Trans+ rights are human rights and without the influence of trans+ and non-binary people many of the human rights which are enjoyed by our cisgendered counterparts would cease to exist as we know them today. The mission of the Trans Legal Clinic is simple; we provide free and accessible legal help to transgender and non-binary people in need. Our overarching vision is a society where all people have access to the legal resources required for gender self-determination and where gender diversity is not just accepted but embraced, with trans+ people equipped with the necessary legal tools to navigate the world in their affirmed gender.

Candidates have a unique opportunity to gain legal experience by joining our team in providing support to trans+ individuals. We will provide training and volunteers will join a team of dedicated caseworkers. 

Caseworkers will:

• provide casework support to trans+ clients across the UK
• manage their time and work to deadlines effectively
• complete research in order to provide advice and information to clients
• work within Trans Legal Clinic guidelines
• liaise with external services suitably
• prepare reports for internal use

The ideal candidate will have the following qualities:

• strong interpersonal skills
• ability to work as part of a team
• good communication
• empathy and motivation to provide support
