Job details
Public Interest Litigation Support (PILS) is a Belfast-based non-profit committed to supporting its solicitor and NGO members to take strategic human rights and equality cases in the public interest. From its origins as a pilot project, PILS has matured into Northern Ireland's dedicated support service for legal action in the public interest.
Now, PILS is looking for a Legal Support Officer to coordinate PILS' membership network of law firms and NGOs, help it develop and submit applications for PILS' services, and assist the PILS Director with legal casework.
The Legal Support Officer will be an enthusiastic researcher and problem solver, someone with a natural curiosity who will relish the opportunity to investigate unfamiliar areas of law.
- This part-time post is being offered on a one-year fixed term contract with potential for extension subject to funding.
- PILS operates a hybrid working model which allows staff members to work from home for up to 60% of their working week.
- PILS is a member of the NI Human Rights Partnership and is an equal opportunities employer.
PILS is such an invaluable asset for so many activists, community groups and organisations - so I would like to thank you for all the collaboration and patient guidance through various legal labyrinths!
