We’re recruiting a Training Lead (Employment Law)

The Work Rights Centre is looking for a motivated employment law expert to lead our growing training programme, and support the wider development of the charity.

Over the last few years our legal teams have delivered a number of successful training and capacity building programmes to other advice charities and local authorities - from short teaser sessions, to in-depth programmes that walked attendees through the core pillars of employment law over the course of several weeks.

We are now looking for an experienced trainer to join the charity, drive the development and delivery of our new exciting training programme, and support the ongoing growth of the charity.

This is an ideal opportunity for a candidate with a strong sense of justice, who values impact, and the autonomy of working in a diverse and agile team. We can accommodate part-time, flexible and remote work, and offer 28 days of annual leave in addition to a winter holiday break.

The role

This critical new role is an opportunity to build on our existing portfolio of workshops to develop a whole new line of work for the charity, working closely with the Deputy CEO and the Employment and Immigration legal teams. We are looking for a passionate self-starter, with strong legal expertise in employment, and experience of developing and delivering high-impact and engaging training sessions.

About you

We seek an employment law expert who has a passion for training and an entrepreneurial spirit. We are looking for:

• Qualified solicitor or barrister, eligible to practise in England and Wales.
• Experience in developing training or professional development materials
• Experience in delivering compelling and accessible legal training or workshops (internal or external)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Knowledge of, and empathy with, the backgrounds and experiences of migrants and other vulnerable workers.
