Job content

The University of Law (ULaw) is one of the world’s largest law schools. With an impressive history dating back to 1876, we employ over 900 staff and have over 14,000 students studying on our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, along with an alumni network in excess of 100,000. We were the first-ever independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers and in 2012 we gained university title. With a rich heritage and a reputation for innovation and contemporary teaching practices, we continuously focus on developing the best legal and business minds. In 2016, we opened our leading Business School, further enhancing our reputation as a full service legal, business and educational training specialist, operating from campuses throughout the UK, Berlin and Hong Kong and an Online campus.
What really sets us apart from other universities is the guiding principle that future lawyers and business leaders should learn in a realistic, professional and contemporary context, with plenty of practical interactive engagement. That’s why we keep our contact hours high and our teaching groups small.
We have an opportunity for a full-time Pro Bono Co-ordinator at our new satellite campus at Newcastle University.
Pro Bono is a key feature of our employability provision and the successful candidate will work as the sole provider of the service in Newcastle but as part of a strong national team across our campuses.
You will develop and deliver an effective, customer focused Pro Bono programme with particular focus on the students on the Newcastle campus, including the role of Supervising Solicitor, supervising University of Law students, as required.
For this role you will need to be a qualified solicitor or barrister with at least 2 years post qualification experience and a practicing certificate.
You will ideally have experience of, or a genuine interest in pro bono delivery or clinical education and have experience of managing trainees.
Please note, CVs will not be considered and only application forms are accepted for this role.
No agencies please.
Some posts within the University are subject to a DBS check - you will be notified of this during the application process.
As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) individuals are currently under-represented within the University - which does not reflect our diverse student body - we would particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates. All appointments will be made on merit.
