England, United Kingdom Barchester Healthcare Full time

This is a newly-created role for a solicitor to work in Barchester Healthcare’s in-house Legal Team, with a primary focus on commercial and regulatory matters. This is a permanent, predominantly remote position with occasional travel to London as and when required.

The successful candidate will be dealing with the drafting, negotiating and advising the business on a broad range of contracts, and assisting with inquest management and other regulatory matters. From time to time work will also involve data protection elements.

The Legal Team takes a “hands on” approach, and we are therefore looking for a real self-starter with an excellent knowledge of contract law and ideally someone with experience in a regulated sector (albeit, the latter is not an essential prerequisite).

This role would be suitable for a practising solicitor who already has in-house legal experience, or is keen to make the move from private practice, and is wishing to have a rewarding career working for one of the UK’s largest healthcare providers.

Role and responsibilities

• Commercial contracts, including Master Services Agreements, Framework Agreements, Supply of Goods and Services Agreements (both Barchester’s own and supplier agreements), Marketing Agreements, Consultancy Agreements and Non-Disclosure Agreements.

• Technology contracts, including Software as Service Agreements (SaaS), Software Licences, Software Development Agreements, Managed Service Agreements and Service Level Agreements.

• From time to time: data protection work, which will relate to data protection compliance documentation, privacy notices, DPIAs, DPAs, and electronic marketing advice.

• Case management and progression under the direction of the Director of Nursing.

• Reviewing evidence

• Interviewing witnesses and drafting statements

• Drafting instructions to counsel and experts

• Corresponding with witnesses, experts, counsel and other stakeholders

• Supporting stakeholders including vulnerable witnesses

• Drafting court documents

• Drafting legal advice on evidence and case status

Experience and qualifications:

The ideal candidate will:

• Be a minimum of 2 years PQE, with a current practising certificate

• Have strong contract law knowledge, and an understanding of B2B and B2C law

• Be confident, personable and a great communicator - both in writing and verbally

• In-house legal experience and/or experience in a top tier law firm is desired but not essential

• Contentious experience desired, not essential

• Knowledge and experience of inquests is desired, but not essential

• Strong organisational and time management skills, along with the ability to work collaboratively within a team and independently when necessary

• Excellent problem-solving skills to deliver legal solutions to commercial issues across all areas of the business

• Someone who is proactive, can manage their own caseload and knows how to prioritise matters, with a strong attention to detail

Rewards and benefits

We are offering an impressive rewards and benefits package, including:

• Competitive salary

• Competitive benefits

• 25 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays

• Discretionary annual bonus

• Opportunity for hybrid working, with office time (London) contingent on the needs of the business

• Access to a wide range of retail and leisure discounts at recognised brands and supermarkets
