Job Details
A robust regional firm in South Manchester, close to the city centre, is looking for a supervising solicitor to head up an existing family department.
The team itself is small but busy, with set plans to expand later this year. The firm benefits from a large amount of incoming work, and this is predominantly legal aid work including children matters.
As head of department, you'll be managing a fee earner and support staff whilst handling a varied caseload and will play a key role in the exciting expansion plans that are in place for the department. It'll be an exciting and fast paced role within a multi-service firm, with plenty of opportunities to grow.
What will I need from you? You'll need panel membership and be able to demonstrate that you've undertaken supervision responsibilities within the last year (or completed the supervision course). As for character, I'm looking for a candidate with a positive attitude who is keen to really get stuck in and to drive things forward - and naturally, a love for legal aid work and children work is absolutely necessary.
Offering very competitive salaries, this is a fantastic South Manchester role for an experienced and ambitious family solicitor - get in touch to get the ball rolling or to find out more about the range of similar roles I'm working on in the area.
