NKLC Background
North Kensington Law Centre opened its doors in 1970 as the first Law Centre in the country, pioneering a community-based legal service which promotes rights and equality of opportunity. We are approaching 55 years of providing legal services to the communities of RBKC and beyond, with a strong history of fighting for justice on behalf of people from disadvantaged and vulnerable communities. Our current areas of work are employment, housing, immigration, and welfare benefits. In immigration, we hold a Legal Aid Agency (LAA) contract and undertake some privately funded work for matters which are out of scope for Legal Aid.
The Role
North Kensington Law Centre is the lead organisation for a London Homelessness Immigration Project funded through London Councils. We are working in partnership with Ealing Law Centre and with supporting organisations across the Northwest London sub-region, including local authorities, homelessness services, outreach teams, and voluntary sector organisations. The Homelessness Immigration Project Support Officer and Coordinator will provide both client facing immigration support and day-to-day coordination of the project. The post holder will help ensure that non-UK nationals who are rough sleeping, homeless, or destitute are identified, triaged, referred, and supported to access immigration advice and representation in a timely and safe manner. The role requires a combination of immigration casework support, outreach engagement, referral pathway management, partner liaison, monitoring, and administrative coordination. The post holder will work closely with the Supervising Solicitor, Director, project partners, and frontline referral organisations to maintain high-quality delivery, compliance, and outcomes for vulnerable clients.
