Main MenuWith funding from Community Justice Fund that we have received during the pandemic, we have indeed made a huge difference to people’s lives in Derbyshire. Together, we have supported 483,000 clients a year and helped the Treasury to save £8000 per person assisted. This equates to a net benefit to the public purse of £4billion per year!

The Just in Time project provides rapid referral to free specialist legal advice from health professionals whose clients/patients are affected by difficulties in their employment. Working with referral partners across Derbyshire we have assisted 149 clients since the project started 2 years ago.
Due to the current and expected demand for employment advice, a vacancy has arisen for a specialist employment caseworker to join the active and experienced team at Derbyshire Law Centre. We are looking for someone who can preferably start immediately and the post will be for a fixed-term period of 12 months from commencement of contract.
Applicants should have experience of supervised case work, ideally with a focus on employment and/or discrimination law. They should be able to run their own caseload and have the ability to negotiate settlements out of court and undertake advocacy in the Employment Tribunal.
We are proud to present you with the Just in Time’s Evaluation report. The evaluation report highlights the difference that Just in Time have made for employees with long term health problems and their referring agencies such as Ingeus, Occupational Health and GPs.
