In the context of community care, Jamie assists vulnerable clients with challenges under the Care Act and Children Act, often in circumstances where support is urgently needed.

Before joining TV Edwards, Jamie interned for five months at Hackney Community Law Centre and before this, Jamie worked as a Business Director at one of the UK’s leading media agencies.
