Temporary Staff Attorney: Housing (one year)

National Legal Aid & Defender Association

Worcester, MA

Position Description
Community Legal Aid (CLA) is the non-profit legal services program providing free civil legal assistance to low-income and elderly residents of central and western Massachusetts. CLA has over 180 dedicated, talented staff working across multiple offices. Our core work includes effective client-centered advocacy and partnerships with our client communities.
CLA seeks a housing attorney to work in its Worcester office for the period of one year, with the possibility of extension. The attorney will represent tenants in eviction cases, assist tenants facing denials or terminations from public and subsidized housing programs, and handle other housing-related matters. Some of the attorney's clients will be referred by Medical-Legal Partnerships which CLA has established with the Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic in Worcester and various clinics at UMass Memorial Medical Center. The attorney will regularly participate in a Housing Court lawyer-for-the day program. The attorney will have significant client contact, will engage in community outreach and education, and may be involved in some grant-reporting activities.
COMPENSATION: The starting salary for this position is $73,000, which is based on a union scale and adjusted upward depending on experience. CLA offers a very generous benefits package that includes 401(k) with employer-paid contribution; low-cost health insurance (medical, dental, and vision) for employees and their dependents; malpractice insurance; paid leave (4 weeks vacation, 3 personal days, 12 sick days, and 13 holidays); loan repayment assistance; and relocation reimbursement. CLA has a hybrid work environment and requires advocates to work in their assigned office at least three days per week.
