Clan is an award-winning, independent children’s charity that actively supports children and young people to take ownership of their rights.
We are the only charity in Scotland that provides free, independent legal representation exclusively for children and young people, which is child-centred by design. Because our lawyers work directly with children and young people whose lives are affected by legal decisions, we bring that unique practice-based knowledge to every aspect of our work. This includes our specialist training, our helpline supporting others who help children to use their voices and their rights, and our work to influence children’s rights respecting changes to practice, policy and law.
Our Legal Coordinator will play a key role in our work directly assisting solicitors in the provision of our helpline and legal outreach services, assisting with legal casework, information, advice and representation and contributing to our policy work. We are looking for someone who can work independently to complete tasks, and act quickly to find workable solutions in sometimes high-pressure situations. As our Legal Co-ordinator you will serve as a point of contact for our clients directly via our helpline service, we are looking for someone who is empathetic, patient, and supportive. As this is a new role for Clan it offers lots of opportunity to bring new ideas to the way we work that will enable us to achieve our goals.
