A key aim for LawWorks is to address barriers to pro bono engagement and to
contribute a pro bono ‘policy voice’ to wider issues to enable access to justice. 

This is an exciting, challenging and varied role providing the opportunity to make a
significant personal impact and to lead on, and contribute to, key areas of LawWorks’
activity and development.

The Director of Policy and External Affairs is responsible (working closely with the
Chief Executive) for ensuring the development, planning, delivery and impact of
LawWorks’ policy development and influence.

You will line manage and support the work of the Policy and External Affairs team – Head of Learning and Practice, Communications Officer and Membership and Training Officer (Wales).

You will have a strong track record in leading and delivering successful policy development, analysis and influencing work. You may not have a background in the legal sector or supporting access to justice, but you will have the passion and commitment to get up to speed in a new area of policy and practice.
