* Work collaboratively with colleagues and contribute positively to the wider Family Law team.

* Ensure compliance with SRA requirements, firm policies and relevant legislation and procedural rules.

Candidate Requirements

* Possess strong written and verbal communication skills.

* Demonstrate sound analytical and organisational abilities.

* Be confident dealing with clients who may be vulnerable or experiencing difficult personal circumstances.

* Have strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines.

* Demonstrate professionalism, resilience and empathy.

* Be able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

* Have a commitment to providing high-quality legal advice and representation.

What We Offer

* A supportive and approachable team environment.

* Structured supervision and mentoring suitable for an NQ solicitor.

* Exposure to a varied and challenging public law children caseload.

* Ongoing professional development and training.

* Competitive salary.
