Are you an experienced campaigner committed to protecting the rule of law? Are you concerned about the erosion of the rule of law in the UK and looking for an opportunity to lead innovative action in response? If you are, this might be an ideal opportunity for you.
The Law Society is the membership body for the solicitor profession and is committed to protecting the fundamental principles of justice which underpin our society. We plan to launch a long-term programme to ‘reframe’ and promote the social, political and economic value of the rule of law and justice system. To lead this exciting new work, we are looking for an inspiring and experienced campaigner to create and deliver this and other impactful campaigns that build support for the rule of law. Being successful in this role means harnessing the expertise of colleagues and our members to drive campaigns that increase the visibility, reach and impact of the Law Society’s work on the rule of law, galvanise the support of a broad range of stakeholders, and dial up the public and political salience and importance attached to the justice system, the rule of law and the contribution of the legal profession to both.
You will lead a cross organisational team of issue and functional experts through matrix management, ensuring the campaign is aligned with the Law Society’s broader goals, mission and approach. Working with senior managers, Law Society’s Office Holders and colleagues to support broad and high-level stakeholder engagement on access to justice issues, you will create an ambitious programme for change and work with others to deliver a campaign with impact.
