What job adverts are listed on Free Movement?

Updated

Free Movement carries job adverts for roles in UK immigration, asylum and nationality law, posted on the site as a service to the sector. The listings visible on the site are typically from law firms and similar organisations, and they set out the practical terms a candidate needs to judge fit: salary, contract type, hours, leave and pension. One example currently shown is a Turpin Miller vacancy for a Solicitor/Senior Caseworker in legal aid immigration, leading a women's prison project.

What a Free Movement job advert contains

The Turpin Miller listing illustrates the format. It states:

  • Role: Solicitor/Senior Caseworker, Legal Aid Immigration – Women's Prison Project Lead
  • Salary: £40,000+, dependent on qualifications and experience
  • Contract: Full-time and permanent
  • Hours: 37.5-hour week
  • Leave: 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Pension: 3% pension contribution
  • Flexibility: Flexible working available

The advert describes the post as an opportunity to join an experienced deportation team and lead the firm's women's prison project. It is attributed to Free Movement and dated 8 October 2026.

Who the adverts are for

These listings suit qualified lawyers and caseworkers already working in, or moving into, immigration and asylum law — the same audience Free Movement writes for. The site describes its readership and training market as solicitors, barristers, IAA (formerly OISC) advisers and others across all levels of experience. A legal aid immigration post with a project-lead element assumes prior casework or advocacy experience rather than entry-level status.

How to read the listings

Job adverts sit alongside Free Movement's news, analysis and training content, so the site is a single place to track sector developments and openings. When assessing a listing, check the stated salary basis (here "dependent on qualifications and experience"), whether legal aid funding shapes the caseload, and what the project-lead element adds to the core caseworker role. Because adverts are time-limited, confirm the vacancy is still open with the employer before applying.
