Job Opportunity: Private Law Solicitor – Family Department

Location: Bolton/Bury Office

Working Hours: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday (1-hour lunch)

Salary: Competitive, commensurate with experience


Overview

My client, a well-established law firm with deep roots in the North West, is seeking a skilled Private Family Law Solicitor with a minimum of 3 years of post-qualification experience (PQE) to join their thriving Family Department. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious solicitor who is keen to take ownership of a caseload focused on private family law, including divorce, finance, and children’s cases. The role offers the chance to grow within the firm, with ongoing support, training, and structured development designed to help you advance your career.


The Role

Based in a welcoming office environment with a supportive team, you will manage your own caseload and work with a range of clients on family law matters. This position requires a dynamic approach, as travel to courts and various offices will occasionally be necessary, so having a car for work use is essential.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing your private caseload independently
  • Handling a mix of Legal Aid and private family work across all family law areas
  • Using the Client and Cost Management System (CCMS) with a clear understanding of legal aid criteria


Skills and Experience Required

To excel in this role, you’ll need:

  • Proven experience in private family law
  • Strong organisational skills and impeccable attention to detail
  • Excellent communication and IT skills
  • A collaborative approach and professional, friendly demeanor


Why Join My Client?

This role is more than just a job; it's a chance to be part of a progressive, client-focused firm that values both traditional high-street values and modern, innovative practice. My client has grown to operate across multiple locations throughout the North West, with a client base that spans England and Wales. Holding esteemed industry accreditations, including the Lexcel Practice Management Standard, the firm is known for its high standards and dedication to client care.


Benefits

In addition to a competitive salary, my client offers an attractive benefits package, including:

  • Pension scheme
  • 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays (with additional accrual after two years)
  • Birthday leave
  • Bonus and discount schemes (e.g., Northern Rail, Cycle2Work)
  • Staff referral rewards and monthly prize raffles
  • Regular social events, charity fundraisers, and team-building activities


Career Development

My client is committed to supporting your professional growth with:

  • Comprehensive training and development programs
  • Access to internal workshops and compliance webinars


This position offers a fulfilling path in family law, with the opportunity to make a real impact on clients' lives while growing within a respected firm that values its team. If you are ready for your next step in a supportive and dynamic environment, this could be the ideal opportunity for you
