Legal Case Officer

Details of the offer

Appeals, Litigation and Administrative Review (ALAR) is part of the Asylum & Protection business area within the Home Office.
The team is made up of nearly 900 staff, across 15 locations, and is responsible for defending tens of thousands of immigration decisions and dealing with applications for appeal.
We're currently recruiting Entry Level Legal Case Officers, also known as 'Presenting Officers', to represent the Home Office and act as effective advocates within the Immigration Tribunal environment.  
About the role 
As a Legal Case Officer, you'll join a busy team preparing and presenting cases at the local Tribunal Hearing Centre.
In some cases, you might need to travel to a Hearing Centre that's located elsewhere or present via video link.
You'll also be reviewing immigration decisions and responses to legal representations.
This is a challenging role that requires resilience in the face of a complex and adversarial legal environment, but it can also be extremely rewarding. 
You will have a degree of flexibility and autonomy in managing your workload, deciding how to pursue cases and develop your own style and approach.
Legal Case Officers develop strong communication skills, the ability to make decisions and review information quickly and deal with complex legal arguments.
 
You'll undergo a training period at the start, which includes mentoring and a foundation programme to provide you with a solid base of knowledge.
You'll then be supported to continue your learning as you need.
No experience necessary.
