We're looking for you to have reliable legal judgement and analysis skills, meticulous attention to detail and proven legal drafting skills.

You can find more detail on the tasks you will undertake, and the essential skills required for the role, in the job description.

We work with doctors, patients, and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors and those who train them need to meet and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors may be at risk, we can investigate, and take action if needed.

The benefits

You'll benefit from being part of an organisation that is genuinely committed to its people with several excellent benefits including:

  • 30 days holiday with the option to buy and sell more
  • A generous employer pension contribution of 15%
