Senior Caseworker (Outreach)

This is an exciting time to join the MRC legal team. In 2016, MRC merged with Asylum Aid, allowing us to increase the size of our legal team. Over the past year, we have significantly broadened the scope of legal support we provide our clients. We now offer legal advice on all immigration and asylum matters as well as generalist advice on a full range of welfare, housing, and debt issues. We deliver our services with a team of more than 10 solicitors, caseworkers, and advisers as well as a growing network of pro bono lawyers and volunteers. The team operates from two MRC offices and several outreach centres across London. We are now looking to expand the scale of our work.

As Senior Caseworker (Outreach), you will be responsible for delivering high quality legal services on the full range of immigration issues that affect migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. A central part of your role will be providing legal services on an outreach basis, including our charity partners Pathway (supporting homeless migrant hospital patients), British Red Cross (supporting destitute asylum seekers), and others. You will also contribute to our growing private client immigration practice which provides the highest quality legal representation to private and corporate clients while subsidising the charity’s work for poorer clients.

This is an ideal opportunity for a caseworker keen to work with a highly diverse client base and who understands the role legal advice and representation can play in achieving wider societal change.
