Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

A graduate from university with a legal background (LLB, GDL, LPC or equivalent). Someone who cares about helping law students get to grips with difficult subjects and who is able to distil complex and technical material into easy to access resources. A self-starter, willing to commit to learning skills for the role without being micro-managed but who knows when to reach out for help. Fantastic attention to detail. Great time-management skills and the ability to prioritise and balance multiple tasks. Previous experience in legal writing, marketing and/or working in a startup is desirable but not essential – if you’re keen to learn then they’re keen to show you.
