Who we are
The Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB) was set up in 1987 to manage legal aid in Scotland. We are a non-departmental public body responsible to the Scottish Government. Our primary purpose is to manage and continuously improve publicly funded legal assistance and to advise Scottish Ministers on its strategic development for the benefit of society.
We welcome and encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, including groups currently underrepresented in our workforce. We pride ourselves as being an employer of choice.
We are a highly ethical organisation, carrying out rewarding work that may have a considerable impact on clients’ lives.

In some cases, we may financially contribute to relocation expenses for roles out with the Central Belt.
