Careers
Why Work With Us?
We are a community.
At Colorado Legal Services, we have a passion for public service, and we work collaboratively to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients. We also encourage our staff to participate in our many CLS state-wide initiatives. Internal groups and committees make our workplace better and have a big impact on who we are as an organization.
We want you to grow.
We are committed to professional growth of all staff and provide opportunities to attend training programs and conferences that are relevant to their work. We also value mentorship and want to support our employees from within.
Your health matters to us.
We care for our employees by covering 100% of employee health, dental, and vision premiums, as well as covering a portion of dependent premiums. CLS gives employees the option of enrolling in a High Deductible Health Plan, with a Health Savings Account. CLS also offers flex spending accounts.
We value representation.
At CLS, we value and respect our staff’s wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We ensure representation of our client communities in our staff, Board of Directors and leadership teams. We also envision a fair, just, trusted, and harm reductionist legal system which emphasizes access to and implementation of true justice for every Coloradan.
We are flexible.
Most employees work a hybrid schedule, working most days in the office and some days from home. Schedules vary depending on the position and needs of the unit, the team, and our clients, and are arranged directly with the employee’s supervisor.
We give you time for you.
Taking time off is important for employee wellness, and we encourage our employees to take their time off. We offer 13 paid holidays per year and generous annual and health leave which accrue each pay period. Our leave policies also provide up to 4 personal days per year and allow for paid bereavement leave, health leave, and parental leave – to name a few.
We help you save for your future.
We contribute $200 per month to your retirement through a 403(b) plan and CLS provides a 100% match up to 3% of your salary.
