LASP is a model for enhancing social welfare law services by recruiting and training law students to undertake PIP and WCA appeals preparation and representation. The LASP model has proved to be highly effective within welfare benefits appeals casework in Bristol and three other UK cities. We have an exceptionally high success rate (95%), our clients tell us that they feel very well supported and achieve better outcomes for them and our volunteers get hands-on legal experience unparalleled in any other legal setting.

The postholder will manage the caseload of benefit appeals effectively and undertake all aspects of project co-ordination including volunteer management. The postholder would also work with the Law Centre’s CEO and development team on ways to improve the capacity, performance and inclusiveness of LASP.
