    Solicitor – Community Care/Court of Protection

    Vacancy Closes

    We have an exciting opportunity for a community care/Court of Protection solicitor to join our growing team.

    Role Overview

    We are looking for someone with at least two years of post-qualification experience who ideally can represent our clients across a range of community care and Court of Protection work. If you only have experience of community care or Court of Protection work but meet our other requirements below, we would still encourage you to apply.

    You will be working with colleagues specialising in housing and public law and who are recommended in the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners. We are proud that we are able to provide a holistic service to clients.

    You will need to share our passion for access to justice and have good knowledge of the legal aid scheme. Experience of privately-funded work would be welcome.

    You will be working for clients with a range of needs, some of whom are in very vulnerable situations such as facing eviction or a lack of community care services.

    We have good referral sources from local charities and NGOs who work with us together to achieve the best outcome for our clients.  Currently we are unable to meet demand for our Court of Protection and community care services and you will be given the opportunity to grow and develop this area of work.

    While the post is based in Whitechapel, there may be occasions when you may need to go to our Clapham Junction office depending on a client’s requirements.

    • Dealing with all routine correspondence, negotiations and advocacy, where appropriate.
    • Ensuring that time spent on all casework is promptly recorded and on conclusion of cases that they are billed and payment is recorded promptly.
    • To ensure, where any part of the work within the department is funded by the Legal Aid Agency that requirements are met.
    • Keeping up-to-date with general legal developments, particularly relating to own specialist field(s).
    • Undertaking appropriate administrative tasks in accordance with the Office Manual to help to ensure smooth functioning of department and efficient casework and billing.
    • Providing supervision where appropriate and/or reporting to supervisors when supervision required.

    Skills/Knowledge Requirements

    • At least 2 years’ experience of working on a full range of community care and/or Court of Protection law (including challenging assessments and care plans, ensuring that local authorities comply with their safeguarding duties, identifying judicial review challenges and potential Court of Protection cases, acting for “P” via a litigation friend or family members in Court of Protection proceedings in relation to P’s welfare)
    • Ability to communicate effectively with the firm’s client group
    • Excellent oral and telephone skills
    • Ability to prioritise and work efficiently under pressure
    • Excellent written communications skills
    • Problem-solving ability
    • Experience of working to targets
    • Excellent IT Skills
    • Commitment to our client group in connection with maintaining access to justice
    • Current Practising Certificate
