Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, is looking for a Legal Clinic Co-ordinator to support the Centrepoint Helpline who’s office base in London E1.
Due to the nature of the work, we are looking for a candidate who can spread the hours over 5 days 50% of which must be spent in the office.
About us
We help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently. Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support and life skills in order to get them back into education, training and employment. We want to end youth homelessness by 2037.
Together with our partners, we support over 15,000 young people each year.
About the role
The Helpline Legal Clinic Co-ordinator will play a key role in a pilot project which aims to make legal advice accessible to young people who are experiencing homelessness and have been unable to access support from their local authority.
