Bristol Law Centre is a charity offering free signposting/referrals, legal advice and representation (advocacy) to some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in our communities.

We wish to grow our dedicated housing team.

You will provide vital legal and administrative support to the housing caseworkers/solicitors, including ensuring cases are billed efficiently through legal aid.

This role has potential to offer a clear progression pathway, starting as a Casework Support Assistant developing into a Trainee Caseworker and, ultimately, a Caseworker depending on performance in the role and funding.

“BLC is a mindful and responsive charity that truly cares about its employees and clients. BLC provides its employees with autonomy to shape how teams operate and I felt instantly valued and respected.”

The Housing Team at Bristol Law Centre (BLC) is unique in Bristol and the Southwest; with 4 solicitors and a casework support officer. We offer complex casework and representation to clients that are facing possession, eviction, serious disrepair and housing issues related to DAV and to anti-social behaviour. We work with Shelter at Bristol and Bath courts to provide duty solicitors each week.

This is an opportunity to work in a friendly and supportive team in a vibrant, artistic, historic and diverse city; surrounded by beautiful countryside at the gateway to Wales and the South-West. Our modern offices are situated close to Bristol Temple Meads station and the city centre. We are flexible to part time or full time working (35 hours per week), and to hybrid work. Our friendly and committed housing team are one of only a few in the area and we wish to grow to ensure more people are helped, working closely with many partners in the city and beyond.
