Solicitor - Children's Rights

4 weeks ago

Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Law Society Full time

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to work in the area of legal services for children and young people and the adults that support them.

Earlier this year, CLM launched a landmark Report which sets out a blueprint for meeting the legal needs of children and young people in Ireland into the future: Meeting the legal needs of children and young people in Ireland and enhancing access to justice: A children's rights analysis. This Report highlights the unique nature of children's legal needs, and points to the need for a specialist law centre that will champion access to justice for children and young people as an essential component in ensuring children's rights are protected, respected and vindicated.

Community Law & Mediation (CLM) is a community based, independent law centre providing services nationwide and operating in two locations: Dublin and Limerick. It was founded in 1975 and assists almost 5,000 people annually through its services, which include free legal advice and representation; information and education; and mediation and conflict coaching. CLM also campaigns for law reform, and for the safeguarding of rights already enshrined in law. For more details on CLM's work, please visit the website, www.communitylawandmediation.ie

CLM are recruiting a solicitor, with an immediate start date.

This is a full-time role split between children and young people's law (3 days) and assisting the CLM legal team with other areas of work, particularly employment law, equality law, social welfare and social housing law (2 days). It is for a fixed term of 2 years, subject to the successful completion of a 6-month probation period. It is hoped to secure sufficient funding to enable the role to be longer term.

Salary details are available on request and the direct line report is currently to the Managing Solicitor of CLM. For full details of the role and an application form, please visit the website: here

The closing date for receipt of applications is 5pm on Wednesday 3rd September 2025. Interviews for the role will be held on Wednesday 24 th September 2025 and will include a short presentation on an area relevant to the role.
