Job Details
Childcare Lawyer
Up to £46,545 + benefits
Working in the busy and high profile Childcare Legal Team, where there are 10 dedicated childcare legal posts plus administrative support, this post offers an excellent and rewarding opportunity for an experienced, dedicated and proactive childcare lawyer.
You will need a minimum of 3 years PQE as either a solicitor or barrister with experience in childcare matters, including safeguarding, adoption and fostering for this pivotal role in the Team. Strong advocacy skills are essential as you will conduct the majority of your own advocacy.
Local Authority experience would be advantageous, and strong case management and IT skills along with familiarity with Iken CMS would be useful.
If you are an enthusiastic team player with a “can do” attitude we would like to hear from you.
We offer a hardworking but friendly and highly supportive working environment, flexible working arrangements and up to 33 days annual leave (depending on length of previous local government service).
If you would like further information, please contact Sarita Riley, Legal Services Manager on 023 8083 3218 or email: sarita.riley@southampton.gov.uk
