Description:

You will take an assertive, strategic and results-driven approach and be committed to fiercely advocating for our clients to ensure their interests are defended. You must be registered on the roll of solicitors in England and Wales with the Solicitors Regulation Authority and have experience across a variety of personal and business visa application processes and appeals. You must have knowledge of the Immigration Rules, Immigration Acts and Home Office guidance, policies and procedures and experience with the Home Office’s online visa application platforms, digital documentation, and e-litigation systems. You will have knowledge of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), particularly Article 8 and Article 3. You will need to have a good understanding of EU Law and post-Brexit implications as well as the British Citizenship requirements. You will demonstrate an understanding of the law surrounding deportation, immigration detention and appeal processes.

You will possess exceptional client-handling and negotiation skills, robust verbal and written communication abilities, and a commitment to establishing strong client relationships. You must demonstrate an understanding of cultural sensitivities and vulnerabilities whilst providing clear and supportive advice. You will have the ability to show empathy, compassion and patience whilst maintaining professionalism and boundaries. You will exhibit meticulous attention to detail to comply with procedural requirements and exceptional time management and organisational skills to balance caseloads and adhere to strict deadlines.

Efficient file management is of utmost importance, including meeting deadlines, adhering to established precedents, and uploading letters and documents onto the case management system, therefore, proficiency in computer skills is a prerequisite for this role. Proficiency in using case management software, such as LEAP, is an advantage.

Being proactive in driving matters forward and keeping our clients, colleagues, and stakeholders well-informed of progress via email, telephone, letter, or in-person interactions are an integral aspect of this role.
