About this opportunity

Fife Law Centre was established in 2009 and is a registered charity, as a company limited by guarantee. It is the product of the vision of local agencies and providers who saw a need for accessible and specialist legal services for clients served by the Third Sector in Fife. These founding agencies are now their partners as they seek to provide for those with unmet legal needs.

Fife Law Centre is currently seeking to recruit Board members with various skills, including financial management, third sector experience, and knowledge of statutory bodies e.g. local government and health.

The purpose of the Board is to set the strategic direction of, and secure the resources for, Fife Law Centre, and to work with the Principal Solicitor to support the delivery of services. The current focus of legal work is on cases of homelessness, welfare law, employment cases and supporting victims of domestic violence.
