To find out more please visit.

**Department/Role overview**

Practice Resource Management and Work Allocation has been introduced to enable our practices to be more agile in the ever evolving markets in which we work. Practice Resource Management aligns work to lawyers taking into account their experience, their development needs and their capacity. Put simply, Practice Resource Management helps ensure we are providing the right people on the right projects at the right time, across all of our services.

Working closely with the business, Practice Resource Management is a key initiative to develop and implement our business and people strategy.

We are looking to recruit a Practice Resource Consultant to support our Global Loans UK practice group. This practice is complex, fast paced and high energy. The high volumes of resourcing requests requires an organised and thoughtful response that delivers fast turnaround on a daily basis. With c750 Lawyers in the EMEA practice it is critical that we can engage specialists within international offices, when required.

As a Practice Resource Consultant, you'll play an important role in implementing and supporting the delivery of Practice Resource Management Services, helping to provide operational excellence. You'll work with the business to support the firm's strategy around agility and mobility of our people and will support the firm's people agenda, reporting directly to the Lead Senior Practice Resource Manager in London and closely supporting the Division and Practice Group Leadership teams.

You'll be responsible for the staffing of Graduates, Lawyers, Senior Associates and Counsel, on a daily basis. You will also have the opportunity to support the Practice Management strategy across the firm's Global Network. You will have an important role in talent management and liaising with the HR and leadership teams, to discuss individual performance and development. You will also be involved in a range of projects that are designed to improve the efficiency and agility of the firm.

Ashurst is committed to providing equal opportunity to all. This includes providing a workplace that supports the well-being of our people. In this role the Practice Resource Consultant is critical to ensuring work and opportunities are shared equally so that the wellbeing and professional development of our teams is managed thoughtfully, fairly and without bias.

**Main responsibilities**
- Demonstrate good knowledge of the business and be proactive in relation to the supply and demand challenges of the business - i.e. busy periods, recurring business, etc.
- Make sure the business needs are delivered in an efficient manner at all times by optimising the allocation of work and deployment of staff to maximise profitability in conjunction with personal development plans and individuals' wellbeing.
- Work with Partners to ensure clients' needs are delivered in an efficient manner at all times by optimising headcount, managing/overseeing joiners, leavers and secondments, smoothing utilisation and being aware of the impact on employee engagement.
- Support Practice Heads to ensure that resourcing is appropriate to deliver revenue and profit targets. This includes maintaining a forward looking view on resourcing, using available levers to 'bulk-up' or 'slim-down' resourcing. This includes the use of secondments, mobility, freelancers etc.
- Being accessible to all, allowing for constant communication and an accurate view of activity and capacity across the group.
- Understanding individual career development needs and supporting access to opportunities which will support personal development.
- To a point, policing the use of the function, to avoid direct allocation of work which could see work allocated in a manner inconsistent with best practices.
- Ensure accurate forecasting of individual activity by tracking activity data and analysing this against actual time recording, flagging any discrepancies to individuals and escalating where required.
- Support the business by delivering the manpower and resourcing plan, having a deep understanding of the BU growth plans and headcount required to support these.
- Engage with the BU Group Leaders and support with people issues and recruitment.
- Be prepared to challenge the BU protocols if impacting resourcing - i.e. completion of timesheets, accuracy of codes, etc.
- Consider work allocation in the context of a multi-practice, multi-jur
