- Supervise and mentor junior lawyers, including target setting, performance appraisals, and fostering professional development.
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of relevant legislation and case law, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Contribute to business development and client relationship management.
What You’ll Need to Succeed:
- A qualified solicitor or lawyer with 5+ years PQE in abuse and social care work (either claimant or defendant).
- Proven experience in managing and litigating abuse and social care claims with strong pre-litigation and litigation skills.
- Experience in handling a varied caseload, including complex or sensitive matters.
- Demonstrated supervisory experience, including mentoring junior lawyers, setting targets, and conducting performance appraisals.
- Excellent communication and client relationship skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a dynamic environment.
- A strong commitment to achieving the best outcomes for vulnerable clients.
What We Offer:
- A hybrid working environment with flexible office and remote working arrangements.
- A competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunities for career progression and development within a growing department.
- A supportive team culture with a focus on work-life balance and personal well-being.
