ATLEU is recruiting an immigration lawyer to take up the exciting role of Community Lawyer.
The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in delivering ATLEU’s community lawyering strategy to bring about meaningful change with and for survivors of human trafficking and exploitation. The community lawyer will build relationships and work alongside community and survivor led organisations so that ATLEU: understands communities’ needs, the systemic issues they face and their priorities and goals; shares legal knowledge, skills and resources which help to empower communities to advocate for themselves; delivers advice in a way that best reaches survivors where they are; and co-produces litigation strategies with communities to bring strategic challenges that tackle systemic injustice and support and amplify community campaigns.
ATLEU is looking for someone who is committed to working closely with communities in a non-hierarchical and collaborative way, recognising the centrality and leadership of survivors to deliver meaningful change. You will be an excellent communicator, have empathy, be confident working independently and have good organisation skills.
