Manging the development of BPP University’s Pro Bono Centre

BPP Pro Bono Centre designs and delivers projects that enable students and learners to develop new skills and gain new experiences, while giving back to the local community. Each year, the Pro Bono Centre enables hundreds of BPP students and learners to benefit from pro bono and volunteering opportunities that support both personal and professional development, while making a difference to people in need across the country.

Please note, this is a hybrid role with two days a week in Birmingham, one day from home and will require some occasional travel to other BPP centres and some evening work when required.

What you’ll be doing

  • Developing knowledge of all the Pro Bono Centre’s projects but will focus supervising cases in the Consumer Law Advice Clinic and attend the clinic sessions (including some evening advice sessions). 
  • Assisting with design, co-ordinate and implement scalable pro bono initiatives that encourage social mobility and widening participation.
  • Working with BPP’s international students to progress a strategy to engage them in Pro Bono and Volunteering whilst they are studying.
  • Promoting the Pro Bono Centre to student and learner volunteers, including at programme inductions across the business, at Virtual Open Evenings and at BPP events.
  • To maximise the clinical and/or public legal education and employability value of the students' work. 
  • To attend conferences and committee meetings to exchange ideas within the pro bono community.
  • To line manage and supervise other members of the team, as and when required.

Choose a better work-life balance

With hybrid working available, you’ll be able to split your time between one of our centres and wherever you choose to call home. Either way, you’ll benefit from a vibrant workplace and a culture that believes in looking after others, while being part of a diverse workforce where difference is celebrated. In addition, you’ll work alongside other like-minded professionals who champion progress, while having opportunities to develop in an environment where creativity and innovation is rewarded. On top of a competitive salary, we provide a generous annual leave entitlement of 28 days, and there’s a rewards package that includes retail discounts, Group Personal Pension Plan, dedicated healthcare, and dental plans that offer additional assurance to look after you and your family. Brilliantly, you can also study any of BPP’s courses for free – be it a professional qualification or full degree.

What we’re looking for

  • Experienced qualified solicitor or barrister with experience of civil and commercial litigation and hold a current practice certificate.
  • Experience in pro bono projects within the legal profession.
  • Experience of designing and delivering training and/or presentations to large and small groups.
  • Knowledge of explaining legal principles clearly and simply both orally and in writing.
  • Be flexible and willing to travel in the UK.
  • Excellent communication and networking skills, that enable you to gain trust and establish credibility with learners, staff, and clients at all levels.
  • Excellent organisation, problem solving and time management skills, with an ability to engage a broad and diverse range of stakeholder groups.
  • Ability to research and convey complex information to a variety of audiences in a variety of formats (e.g., presentations, reports, data analysis).
