We are seeking a qualified Barrister or Solicitor/CILEx Advocate to join our team within the Children and Families Legal Group, which provides expert legal advice, support, and representation to local authority clients in child protection law.
About Us
Our In-House Advocacy Service has 14 years of experience providing comprehensive and proactive legal advice and representation for Manchester, Salford, and Rochdale Councils. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality work in a range of areas, including court hearings and complex cases.
Flexible Working
We understand that working in child protection law can be challenging. To help balance your work and personal life, we offer flexible start and finish times (subject to court hearings and workload) with an effective hybrid working model. This enables you to find the perfect balance to excel in your role.
Development Opportunities
Career development is essential to us. We provide mentoring, training, coaching, and development opportunities to enable our In-House Advocates to pursue higher rights of audience and advance their careers. Several former In-House Advocates have successfully transferred to the Bar without pupillage due to the quality of our work and support.
Requirements
The successful candidate will possess a good working knowledge of local government law and the ability to formulate and present quality legal arguments to courts on behalf of our clients. You will also have a sound understanding of the law relating to children and families and be committed to continuous self-development.
What We Offer
You will be a qualified Barrister, Solicitor, or Chartered Legal Executive with an Advocacy Certificate, able to work flexibly, including outside normal office hours when required. Our team offers a supportive and dynamic environment, allowing you to grow and develop your skills.
Salary: 50,788 - £62,914 per annum
