Manchester, United Kingdom

This was an amazing opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of disability equality legislation in its early days and learn from colleagues in the Casework, Legal and Practice Development teams as we provided a service to members of the public with potential complaints of disability discrimination in employment, education and other service provision.

London, United Kingdom

After 18 months of training as a volunteer with Citizens Advice I launched into this busy and rewarding generalist advice role. UCLU was a great employer who encouraged and funded me to study for the MA Para-legal and Advice work, which helped my career so much in years to come.
