Job Description

Administration (Casework) & Membership Officer

£26,317 - £27,000 Full-time (35 hours pw)

The Administration (Casework) and Membership Officer maintains and develops our membership records, and provide administrative support to our programmes, principally our ‘secondary specialisation’ projects.

Our secondary specialisation projects support more ‘in-depth’ pro bono, in areas of social welfare law (e.g., bespoke casework and/or representation). This includes supporting solicitors to provide representation at first tier social security appeal tribunals, an unpaid wages project, and (working with the charity Together for Short Lives) a project called ‘Voices for Families’ which provides legal advice for parents and carers of children with life-limiting conditions.  These programmes are each lead by a specialist in-house solicitor with whom the post-holder will work closely. 

The ability to work across teams and projects will be crucial. The majority of the role supports the secondary specialisation projects, but additional membership support may be required at certain times of the year, including preparing annual membership invoices. 

We are looking for a personable individual with excellent administrative and organisational skills, attention to detail, strong abilities in using IT, databases, customer relationship management (and case management systems, and preferably (but not essential) with experience of working in a membership organisation and an understanding of the legal and advice sectors.

We are a busy and (for our size) complex charity, with a friendly team, a positive ethos and a commitment to doing all we can to ensure that LawWorks is a strong and efficient organisation and a great place to work.

Please apply by 4.00pm on Friday 31 July 2020 – further details about the role and how to apply is available on the LawWorks website.

LawWorks is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.  We welcome applications irrespective of race, religion, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, disability or age.
