Volunteering opportunity
University of Staffordshire Legal Advice Service are looking for employment law solicitors/barristers/legal executives to support with the increasing number of employment law enquiries they receive. There is no set time commitment - any time that could be volunteered, however small, would be of benefit to the service. There would be no requirement for follow-up work, unless the volunteer lawyer chose to enter into a retainer with the client, which would fall outside the scope of the clinic.
The appointments run during term time (late October to December and January to April) and take place remotely, so there would be no need to travel. Appointments take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays and could be scheduled at the volunteer’s convenience within this time frame. Appointments last for up to 1 hour.
Person specification
This opportunity would suit someone who fits the following criteria:
- Employment solicitor/barrister/legal executive with 3+ years PQE
- Strong employment tribunal experience
- Ability to deliver on-the-spot initial advice
Application process and contact details
This is an ongoing opportunity and University of Staffordshire Legal Advice Service welcomes discussions from suitable volunteers. Please contact Natasha Thomas – legaladviceservice@staffs.ac.uk - for a discussion.
