UK, UK, United Kingdom Barchester Healthcare Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to work within Barchester Healthcare's in-house Legal Team, on a 12-month fixed-term contract, covering maternity leave, with an opportunity for the role to become permanent for the right candidate. Ideally, the successful candidate would be available to start in March 2025

This role will be with a primary focus on commercial and regulatory matters. This is a predominantly remote position with occasional travel to the London office as and when required.

The successful candidate will be dealing with the drafting, negotiating and advising the business on a broad range of contracts, data protection matters and assisting with inquest management and other matters of regulatory compliance.

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.

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.

The successful candidate will be joining the business during an exciting time of transformation, and this role will provide the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, diverse environment which requires a pragmatic, commercial approach and the ability to work individually, as well as part of a team, on a variety of projects.

Experience and qualifications:

  • 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

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

Role and responsibilities:

This will be a split role between a commercial and regulatory solicitor. The general duties for each are set out under the headings below.

Commercial

The successful candidate would undertake work in the following areas:

  • 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

  • Data protection work, which will relate to data protection compliance documentation, privacy notices, policy work, DPIAs, DPAs, and electronic marketing advice and co-ordinating the Information Governance Committee

Inquests/regulatory

The successful candidate would undertake work in the following areas:

  • 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

  • Drafting court documents

  • Drafting legal advice on evidence and case status

Rewards
