Well done James
A Northumberland social enterprise is reaping the benefits of its support of local talent – and is urging the region’s other employers to follow suit.
 |
DAWN Advice, whose qualified experts offer free advice and support on a range of issues such as housing, financial and legal matters, has just landed its first ever legal training contract.
James Charlton, 30, a former hotelier from Amble, with a degree in Business Studies from Durham, joined DAWN in March 2007 and the organisation supported him while he studied towards his Legal Practice Certificate (LPC) at Northumbria University.
He has now finished his course and has been offered a full-time training contract at DAWN, which chief executive Liz Chadwick said is incredibly rare. |
“We are really breaking new ground here as not-for-profit organisations like ours are rarely in a position to offer training contracts,” she said.
“James used to run a hotel in the area and has a wealth of experience at dealing with people.
“DAWN supports skilled professionals by offering training and support – by offering James this position, we have been able to keep a talented person living and working in the area.
James said he was delighted with the opportunity to develop his lifelong interest in legal advice. As part of his work, he will be specialising in family and housing law, which will include attending family court, handling Emergency Applications for Occupation and Non Molestation Orders.
