Director of Legal Services (full-time)
Newham Community Law Project is recruiting a Director of Legal Services to join our newly established organisation as we launch our legal services in summer 2026.
This is a unique opportunity to help shape a community-based legal practice from the outset.
Over the coming months we will be applying for Legal Aid contracts and to become a member of the Law Centres Network.
We currently have one immigration solicitor and are recruiting a second solicitor and an operations manager.
You will be responsible for:
- Managing the team
- Supervising casework
- Ensuring compliance with SRA and Legal Aid Agency requirements
- Working closely with trustees on strategy, governance and service development
We are seeking a qualified solicitor with either significant housing or immigration experience, Legal Aid knowledge, and a strong commitment to social justice and access to justice.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
