Background to the Law Centre
Law Centre NI (LCNI) is an award winning organisation and for 48 years, LCNI has been using the law to drive change in Northern Ireland. We are constantly innovating, working in communities, and using the law to transform people’s lives. We are fiercely independent and unrelenting in our pursuit of justice. With a strong track record of strategic litigation and policy advocacy we make change through a unique blend of legal, training, education, community engagement and policy advocacy work.
The role will be to engage others in supporting our mission. You will do that through your comms and PR activity and through building positive relations that attract new support for our work, ensuring that the impact of our work and our messages are effectively communicated and understood amongst diverse stakeholders. You will spot emerging issues and opportunities for LCNI to make an even bigger difference.
You will be the key contact point for our members. You will help build members’ capacity to support the advice and other needs of their communities and facilitate partnership working amongst our members and other stakeholders. You will be responsible for growing LCNI’s membership and maintaining strong links with existing members and other stakeholders. You will be responsible for ensuring our legal information/education resources are reaching where they are needed and ensure that all aspects of LCNI’s work and our impact is effectively communicated.
