The Role
The justice system is a public service, as vital to our communities as education and healthcare. But years of underinvestment by the government have left many of us facing an uphill struggle to access legal advice when we need it.
We are stepping up our efforts to secure funding for legal aid for families, and reforms to the justice system that could level the playing field for millions of people and families in England and Wales. As Campaign Lead, you will be at the heart of this work, driving forward our Legal Aid Means campaign and be at the forefront of developing new policy ideas for a justice system that serves us all, as part of a new influencing and thought leadership campaign building on the successful 21st Century Justice project.
You'll set the strategic direction, build and grow coalitions of supportive organisations, and turn new bold ideas into campaigns that get decision-makers to listen and act. You'll bring political nous, collaborative leadership, sharp campaign management skills and an ability to engage people at every level.
