Citizens Advice Leeds is working for a fairer society where people are free from the effects of poverty and injustice. We are a local charity helping over 30,000 people a year to resolve financial, housing, employment and other legal issues. We have reopened our face to face services but much of our advice will still be delivered by telephone and online channels.
If you’d like to join our team helping service users find solutions to their problems, we have a number of opportunities open to qualified and trainee candidates who will bring enthusiasm, strong communication skills and a focus on delivering positive outcomes to their work.
The Role:
We are seeking an experienced Administrator to join our Legal Advice Team. You will play a key role in supporting solicitors and caseworkers and ensure a smooth journey for clients accessing legal aid funding.

Flexibility and a positive approach to work are important attributes required for this role. Strong oral communication skills are essential as is the ability to listen, engage and empathise with potentially vulnerable clients.
