The National Community Law Project is expanding its volunteer legal team.
Company Description
The National Community Law Project CIC is a community-focused social enterprise working to make legal support more accessible and affordable. We assist people who may struggle to access traditional legal services, helping them understand their rights, navigate legal processes and prepare their cases effectively. Our work covers areas including housing, family, commercial, employment, discrimination, benefits, and civil disputes.
Role Description
The role involves supporting clients in preparing case summaries, organising supporting documentation, and drafting clear, structured information for review by legal professionals. Volunteers will help clients understand procedural steps, guide them in gathering relevant evidence, and ensure materials are presented in a logical and professional format. The role includes researching legal issues under supervision, liaising with partner organisations, and assisting in identifying suitable legal representation for clients. Volunteers will work collaboratively within a team, maintain accurate records, and uphold confidentiality and ethical standards at all times.
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.
