Lead Family Law Advocate
6 days ago
We are seeking a skilled and dedicated Lead Family Law Advocate to join our Children and Families Legal Group, which provides expert legal advice and representation to local authority clients in child protection law.
The In-House Advocacy Service has been operating for 14 years and prides itself on offering comprehensive and proactive legal advice and representation to Manchester, Salford, and Rochdale Councils. The role involves providing interesting and challenging legal work within the Lexcel-accredited and supported legal service.
As a Lead Family Law Advocate, you will be working with public services in Manchester, Salford, and Rochdale Councils, as well as the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, in England's first devolved region. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge in a dynamic and supportive environment.
We offer flexible start and finish times, with an effective hybrid working-practice model, allowing you to find a balance that empowers you to do your best work. Our commitment to career development is evident in our provision of mentoring, training, coaching, and development opportunities.
While previous local authority experience would be advantageous, we are open to candidates from private practice or other in-house roles who have transferable skills and would be a good fit. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong working knowledge of local government law and be able to formulate and present quality legal arguments to the Courts.
You will be a qualified Barrister, Solicitor, or Chartered Legal Executive with Advocacy Certificate, able to work flexibly, including outside normal office hours when required. Your personal commitment to continuous self-development is essential, as is your ability to evidence this through your work.
