The Legal Loop: Case Manager, Paul, from the Wellbeing & Grants Team
The Legal Loop is putting the incredible Case Manager spotlight on Paul, one of our team members from the Wellbeing & Grants Team. Paul’s day-to-day role is a key part of the wider mission to make sure that solicitors have access to wellbeing support.
“Each client’s story impacts and impresses upon me just how much we are needed and valued – and how important flexibility is,” says Paul, who has worked for the charity for three years.
He believes what sets The Solicitors’ Charity apart from others is “the incredible generosity of the trustees and team, not only in respect of making awards and grants, but in the giving of time and enthusiasm to allow each client the best possible journey”.
Paul believes that his work with the Wellbeing and Grants Team makes a real difference to people’s lives. He is proud to be the first port of call for support, working in a small team of five to deliver direct client services. “In essence, we’re part of the face of the charity”, he says.
“It’s so rewarding to deliver frontline case management services to our clients – by listening to them, supporting them to access our services, or external services; being able to authorise some awards and grants or putting together a comprehensive package of support”.
Having worked in the charity sector for several years, his inspiration for joining this charity was to develop his support for solicitors and their dependants in difficult times. We asked Paul to share only three words to sum up what The Solicitors’ Charity is…
“I want more people to know that we’re here if they are facing hardship. So, if you or someone you know, needs help, tell them about us and if we cannot help directly, we will do our best to signpost them to where they need to be”.
Thinking about reaching out for wellbeing support? It’s completely okay to ask for help, and the Wellbeing & Grants Team is here to be a listening ear and offer guidance.
