Legal Volunteer

What You'll Do: 

The Cleaners and Allied Independent Workers Union is looking for driven and talented aspiring lawyers to join their pool of legal volunteers. Volunteers undertake a range of tasks, from accompanying members to grievance and disciplinary meetings to drafting statements of case/witness statements to attending Employment Tribunals. This is all done on an ad hoc basis so there is no specific time requirement, and it can be done alongside other work. If you are looking for pupillage, particularly in employment or other areas of civil law, the experience that volunteering with CAIWU provides can be invaluable. Past volunteers have gone on to obtain pupillage at top sets. In addition, volunteers play a vital role in allowing cleaners to enforce their rights, avoid exploitation and making a real difference to the lives of vulnerable employees with limited resources and often precarious migrant status, facing big business with deep pockets.
