⚖️Multiple Volunteers – Litigation & Operational Support | Part-time | Hybrid | UK Only Jobs in City Of London, England, United Kingdom at Mayflower Case
Title: ⚖️Multiple Volunteers – Litigation & Operational Support | Part-time | Hybrid | UK Only
Company: Mayflower Case
Location: City Of London, England, United Kingdom
PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY BASED IN THE UNITED KINDOM.
This is a hybrid role. Volunteers are expected to attend in-person working sessions at an office location in City of London or Canary Wharf. A minimum of one hour per week of in-person presence is expected during active periods of engagement. This is in addition to remote contribution and is a genuine requirement of the role – fully remote-only candidates will kindly not be considered – sorry about that.
UK-based candidates may apply via email or LinkedIn DM, even if the job post appears closed.

BEFORE APPLYING — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
This opportunity is open only to individuals currently residing in the United Kingdom on a long-term basis. Applications from outside the UK cannot be considered under any circumstances. If you are not currently UK-resident, please do not apply — doing so uses a limited application slot with no possibility of progressing.
This is also a genuine participation role, not a nominal registration. The section on time commitment below explains what meaningful engagement looks like in practice.
THE ROLE
I am seeking a small number of UK-based volunteers to provide structured support across administrative, research, organisational and technical areas connected to an ongoing legal matter currently before an Employment Tribunal in England and Wales.
This is a single combined posting covering multiple support areas. Successful applicants will not be assigned to every task. Instead, during the onboarding and initial conversation, I will work with each volunteer to identify the area or areas that best match their background, interests, and personal development goals — and assign them accordingly. Volunteers may take on one area or several, depending on what is realistic and mutually useful.
Support areas span a range from technical to legal to operational, and include roles that are more analytical, more administrative, more research-oriented, or more technically specialised. The onboarding conversation will clarify the specific task content within each area, so that each volunteer can make an informed choice about where they can genuinely contribute.
I genuinely value the learning and development dimension of this engagement, and will make a conscious effort to assign tasks in a way that serves each volunteer's professional interests and civic motivations. Where possible, I want the work to be meaningful for the person doing it — not just useful to me.
That said, I want to be honest about what I need most: this is a legal proceeding of significant personal consequence, likely to run for several years. I am managing it under very difficult circumstances, largely alone. The primary purpose of building a volunteer team is to gain real, substantive help that saves me time and capacity during active phases of the proceedings. Volunteers who contribute genuinely — even in modest, consistent amounts — make a direct and material difference.
I raise this not to create pressure, but to be straightforward: I am looking for people who want to help in a real sense, and who will find genuine satisfaction in doing so. If that describes you, I would very much welcome your application.
SUPPORT ROLES / AREAS
Support activities may include, depending on your background:
- Legal advice (if formally qualified for it)
- Legal assistance (Structured legal and factual research, document review, organisation, and quality checking, drafting and preparation of written materials (non-regulated), and the like)
- Technical, analytical, or digital support
- Administrative assistance
- Web, content and digital presence support
- Information and records management
- Supporting outreach for financial contributions toward legal and procedural costs
- Peer mentoring or professional coaching support for the litigant
- Physical logistics
What matters is consistent, reliable engagement within whatever area you take on.
Qualified solicitors or barristers wishing to offer regulated advice or representation on a pro bono basis are equally welcome to apply and will be considered separately.
WHAT THIS IS AND IS NOT
- This is about operational and procedural support for an active legal proceeding.
- This is not a campaigning, advocacy, or public awareness role.
- All activities are conducted in full compliance with the requirements of ongoing legal proceedings, and discretion is essential throughout.
- This is not regulated legal advice.
- Volunteers with legal backgrounds without formal qualifications are most welcome but to engage in a research, assistance and support capacity only.
WHO I AM LOOKING FOR
There is no single background required. What the most effective contributors have in common:
- Genuine personal alignment with public accountability and access to justice — as a value to be actively practiced, not as a slogan.
- Intellectual seriousness: ability to engage with complex, sensitive factual and procedural material
- Professional integrity: you do what you said you would do
- Honesty about your actual availability before committing, rather than afterwards
Relevant backgrounds include — but are not limited to — law, public policy, IT, Software Engineering, auditing, research, writing, and information management.
Qualified solicitors or barristers wishing to offer regulated advice or representation on a pro bono basis are equally welcome to apply and will be considered separately.
TIME COMMITMENT
There is no contractual minimum-hours obligation. However, this opportunity is specifically intended for individuals who realistically expect to contribute on a reasonably consistent basis over time.
In practical terms, I ask for:
- A brief availability indication at the start of each month — even if modest
- Proactive communication if your circumstances change
- A genuine intention to contribute something real, at a pace that works for you
WHAT I OFFER IN RETURN
- Genuine hands-on experience in an active public-interest legal matter — documentable honestly on a CV or LinkedIn profile
- Professional reciprocity: CV review, interview preparation, LinkedIn recommendations, reference letters — offered in good faith, from approximately 20 years of pro bono career mentoring
- Networking introductions where relevant and appropriate
TO APPLY
Please message directly with:
- Confirmation of your current UK residence
- A brief summary of your relevant background or interests
- Your approximate realistic monthly availability (min, average and max)
- Your reasons for interest
