Valla is a legal platform that connects litigants in person with coaches (legal professionals) who can give them extra support. We are currently looking for Employment Law Expert to join our team who help litigants in persons to navigate the tribunal system. Valla does not provide legal experts with training on employment law. You must therefore already be confident in advising clients on common employment law claims including unfair dismissal, constructive unfair dismissal, and discrimination. This role is most suited to qualified lawyers who have recent specialist experience in employment law (including practising or non-practising solicitors, barristers and CILEX professionals).

As an Employment Law Expert at Valla, you will use the Valla platform to support litigants in person as they navigate the Employment Tribunal process. This includes: • Answering user questions about the Tribunal process in 1-1 video calls, • Helping users understand communications from their employers / respondents legal team, • Guiding them on options and case strategy, • Performing "peace of mind" checks on the ET1 Particulars of Claim/Paper Apart and other documents drafted by users, • Cheering clients on as they work through the Tribunal process and offering tips and encouragement. Valla was built by two women who had issues at work and couldn't afford to hire a law firm to help them. Our founders realised that so many people were unable to take serious issues forward because of high costs, so created a platform that helps employees manage all the admin and document prep. That means that as a Coach, you won't be collating loads of documents or filling in forms, you'll be looking at real situations from real people and offering support and encouragement. We are looking for people who: • Want to directly support employees who are going through a difficult time, • Have a warm, friendly demeanour and like chatting to people, • Are tired of working to targets and want more rewarding work.
