We are looking for an exceptional legal leader to take on the role of Senior Lawyer. This unique role will give the opportunity to lead on and develop litigation before the European Court of Human Rights and UN mechanisms; devise trainings, webinars and litigation resources for partners and wider groups; and represent EHRAC, as a legal expert, at external events. The ideal candidate is qualified to practise as a lawyer in a Council of Europe State and has extensive human rights litigation experience, particularly from the European Court of Human Rights and UN mechanisms, as well as experience leading, developing and delivering training and skills development.

Given the international context of our work, we are looking for individuals who have worked with different cultures and in challenging contexts and who would thrive in this environment. We are particularly looking for candidates with experience litigating discrimination issues including gender based-violence and those who have integrated a trauma-informed approach into their legal work. This is a full-time position, with EHRAC's office based in London.

The European Human Rights Advocacy Centre (EHRAC) works with human rights defenders in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine to identify systemic abuses and urgent threats to civil society and marginalised communities. Together, we undertake strategic litigation to secure justice and accountability. EHRAC has taken over 300 cases to the European Court of Human Rights and UN mechanisms and have won many landmark judgments.
