South Lanarkshire, Scotland
Full time
1 week ago

Purpose of the Role

To improve access to justice by providing free, high-quality advice, assistance, and representation to individuals facing mortgage repossession, rent arrears, and connected debt issues at Hamilton and Lanark Sheriff Courts.

This is a frontline role, supporting people at a critical point in their lives — helping them understand their rights, navigate complex legal processes, and stay in their homes wherever possible.

Key Responsibilities

What You’ll Be Doing

The above job description is not exhaustive and is clarified to include broad duties inherent in the post as reasonable requested by the Team Leader.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with a strong background in housing or debt advice, who is passionate about defending people’s rights and experienced — or keen to develop — in representing clients in court.

You’ll be an empathetic and confident communicator, capable of supporting both clients and colleagues, and committed to improving outcomes for people facing difficult financial and legal circumstances.

This role is also a great opportunity for recent law graduates who are passionate about access to justice and want to gain practical, hands-on experience in civil procedure, advocacy, and client representation. If you're ready to use your legal knowledge to make a tangible difference in people's lives — and develop your courtroom skills with full training and support — we’d love to hear from you.
