Our passion for the sectors we work in and the purpose-driven work we do with our clients has resulted in SK being recognised as national leaders in our specialist fields across the country.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an individual to join our forward-thinking Education Team. We are flexible regarding the position level, prioritising the selection of a candidate with the appropriate experience and qualifications.

The role has a focus on the operational work regarding all aspects of pupil and parent related matters for our state, independent school and FE College clients. This would include matters such as pupil safeguarding and welfare, Equality Act issues (e.g. transgender, disability discrimination), admissions and exclusions, parent complaints, as well as supporting strategic governance advice to trustees in conjunction with our charity team. This is an exciting and hugely varied role, which brings experience in both contentious and non-contentious work, as well as an understanding of how regulatory, political and commercial factors can affect legal issues for schools.

We are looking for a talented and motivated individual to join our team and contribute to the delivery of high-quality legal services to our clients.

Key Responsibilities

General duties include, but are not limited to:

  • Maintain your continuing professional development requirements and take an active interest in furthering your knowledge within the field of law
  • To carry out your work for both colleagues and clients to the highest possible standard, having regard to the Firm's standards, procedures and core values
  • To regularly attend, and be involved in preparation for, Team meetings
  • To attend and be involved in preparation for marketing and business development events and activities

Ongoing learning is something that will continue in your career at Stone King; we aim to be leaders in our chosen fields, often providing workshops and seminars not only for our people but also for external clients on key areas of law.

Requirements

We are looking for an experienced Solicitor with prior experience in providing legal advice to schools or clients in the education sector. The ideal candidate will have the potential to market the firm and should have a strong interest in business development. Typical business development opportunities would include but are not limited to: attending seminars and networking events, presenting workshops to the firm's clients and being involved in pitches/tenders.

A strong commitment to career development and further learning is essential. Previous experience handling own caseload and ability to work independently and as part of the team is also required. Someone who performs well under pressure and can manage a sometimes intensive workload is ideal. Excellent communication skills and ability to prioritise workload are also essential. Attention to detail and IT literacy including Office 2010 are also required.
