    Role Overview

    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.

    We have good referral sources from local charities and NGOs who work with us to achieve the best outcome for our clients. We are often instructed by the Official Solicitor.

    • 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 one year of post-qualification experience of working on a full range of Court of Protection (welfare) law (including 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.
