Job Details

One of the largest law firms in the North East is looking to recruit a talented individual as Head of Risk and Compliance in its Newcastle office. The firm serves clients throughout the UK and further afield, and has an outstanding reputation for delivering high quality advice.

This is a great opportunity to take on a high level position and, reporting directly to the Managing Partner, be the lead figure in maintaining the firm's legal and regulatory requirements. In this role you will be advising on all regulatory matters across the firm, ensuring best practice and compliance as required by the SRA and statute.

You will also act as the firm's Compliance Office for Legal Practice, Data Protection Officer and Anti-Money Laundering Officer, and will act as the primary relationship contact for the SRA and other appropriate regulatory bodies.

It is a really exciting time to join the business as it continues to grow, and in this role you can support that growth by ensuring the firm continues to operate a proactive and efficient environment, geared towards maintaining the highest standards of client care.

Our client believes a qualified lawyer, who has experience of working in an SRA regulated environment and is looking for a change in career direction, would be ideal for this role. Equally, those who are currently in a similar role in another firm, but are looking for a new challenge, are also encouraged to apply.

Knowledge of data protection legislation and AML procedures would be beneficial, although expert knowledge is not essential. While the role ideally requires full-time hours, the firm would be happy to discuss part-time working with the right candidate.

If you would like to find out more, please contact Rachel Birkinshaw at Sacco Mann or another member of our Private Practice team. Alternatively, if you know of anyone who would be suitable for this role then please let them or us know as we offer a reward for successful referrals. For full terms please see our website.

Company

Sacco Mann are specialist Legal Recruiters recognised as regional experts with a genuine interest in, as well as knowledge of, their marketplace. We are renowned for giving clear and straightforward career advice and true quality of service.

We have thirteen experienced consultants focussing on legal recruitment, encompassing the Commercial, General Practice, Public Sector and In House positions, both permanent and locum. In addition two consultants specialise within the Patents and Trademarks sector.

We feel that much of our success has been due to the fact that we:

- try to accurately guage and understand what both candidates and clients require and indeed that which they are able to offer and then bring the two together
- have a demonstrable knowledge of the marketplace. Fundamentally what you need is not merely someone who can post your CV to a practice, but someone whose strength of contacts within the firms can add value, ensuring that you are given proper consideration
- discuss each role with you thoroughly and get prior clearance before a CV is submitted. This is an extremely important for protecting confidentiality and avoiding duplication
- brief you fully prior to any interviews, ensuring that you know what the role entails and how the interview will be run. We also give you honest interview feedback - if you don't do very well in an interview you can always learn from the experience
- are accessible and return your calls

Why use Sacco Mann?

Principally because we believe that the points outlined above are fundamental. We enjoy recruitment, and we are good at it, because we genuinely enjoy assisting people make positive career moves. We don't shuffle paper because we know our marketplace and are therefore in a position to give reliable, knowledgeable and practical advice.

The vast majority of our applicants and clients are at pains to thank us for the advice and service that we provide and we believe the high level of referral business is a direct result of the fact that lawyers value our input.
