We are open to applications from candidates who would like to work part time or flexibly, and to people who do not currently meet the Housing supervisor requirements, but think you could meet the requirements in a reasonable time.

Or you may have less than three years of relevant housing experience but may be able to meet the supervisor requirements.If you are someone who has not yet been a supervisor, or who has been out of legal aid work for a while but would like to return to housing casework and supervision, we are interested to hear from you.

We are looking for candidates who are intelligent, resilient, exceptional communicators and passionate about ATLEU’s mission and values.
