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). Non-lawyers will be considered but you must have significant employment law experience. This is a part-time contractor role where you can choose your own hours, all fully remote.

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. And in terms of your employment law experience, you must be: • Very well-versed in UK employment law (currently we cover England, Scotland and Wales), • Comfortable picking up work straight away with very minimal support, • Experienced in being a client’s main adviser for their Employment Tribunal case (ideally, you have done this on many occasions). If you did this as part of a team of lawyers or advisers, you acted as the main adviser on the team. At Valla, we care deeply about creating employment opportunities for everyone. If you want to fit work around your caring responsibilities, please apply. If you have a disability and want to talk about adjustments, please apply.
