Legal Adviser

We are looking for a Legal Adviser to join our current team of seven legal staff who form our Legal Directorate and report to our General Counsel.

The IMA is an independent arms-length body sponsored by the Ministry of Justice. This is an exciting time for the IMA who is responsible for monitoring whether the UK’s public authorities are providing the rights of EU and EEA EFTA nationals and their family members under the Withdrawal and EEA EFTA Separation Agreements.

You will provide advice to IMA operational colleagues to help inform the IMA’s monitoring and promoting work. The work will primarily involve advising on the Withdrawal Agreement, but may also engage the following areas of law:  

  • Public administrative law. 
  • Judicial review. 
  • International law. 
  • EU law. 
  • Immigration. 
  • Health. 
  • Education. 
  • Social security. 
  • Housing. 

Advice is provided in the context of Litigation, Inquiries, Legislation, Compliance & Intelligence.

You can read more about the IMA’s work and successes on our website.

In addition to this, you will contribute to the delivery of the IMA’s internal training and guidance. You will also need to develop relationships across the IMA as well as a variety of other public authorities and stakeholders.

The successful applicant will also be responsible for working with external legal service providers and counsel when required, under the direction and oversight of the General Counsel. 

You will have the full support of experienced and dedicated colleagues both from within the Legal Directorate and from colleagues across the IMA. The post-holder will have support from Senior Legal Adviser colleagues in the team, in particular on more complex and new areas of legal issues and questions. 

We offer any tailored learning and development required for you to thrive in this role and you will have support and guidance to progress your legal career. 

Essential skills:  

You will be:

  • a qualified barrister or solicitor entitled to practise in England and Wales (or due to qualify by January 2025).

You will be able to demonstrate the following: 

  • Sound powers of analysis and the ability to provide legal advice on complex and technical areas of law. 
  • Sound legal judgement including the effective management of legal risk.
  • Experience of working with and communicating complex legal issues to and influencing senior stakeholders.
  • an understanding of the main features of public and administrative law.

Benefits

We take development seriously and want to enable you to build a successful career with the IMA. It is crucial that our employees have the right skills to develop their careers and meet the challenges ahead, and you’ll benefit from regular performance and development reviews to ensure this development is ongoing.

You’ll be entitled to a large range of benefits such as:  

  • Learning and development tailored to your role 
  • Flexible working options, including flexi time 
  • 25 days annual leave on entry, increasing on a sliding scale to 30 days after 5 years’ service. This is in addition to 8 public holidays. This will be complimented by one privilege day entitlement. 
  • A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity 
  • Civil Service Pension – a competitive contributory pension scheme that you can enter as soon as you join where we will make a significant contribution (an average employer contribution of 27%) to the cost of your pension. Your contributions come out of your salary before any tax is taken 
  • Established reward and recognition scheme for staff 
  • Generous paid maternity and paternity leave which is notably more than the statutory minimum offered by many other employers 
  • Interest-free loans allowing you to spread the cost of an annual travel season ticket or a new bicycle 
  • Occupational sick pay, employee assistance services and health and wellbeing initiatives such as flu vaccines and health screening. 
  • We have a range of family-friendly policies, such as part-time working, job sharing, parental leave and career breaks and a range of leave options for parents. These depend on business needs, but our aim is to help you achieve a positive work-life balance.
