Consumer Legal Advisor

Are you looking to escape Private Practice and interested in working for a company that truly values their staff? Helping you escape the aloof culture of most companies or traditional law firms and achieve a good work / life balance, giving you the quality of life you really want, this role could be for you.

The Company

The company is a completely independent, not-for-profit organisation that has been on the side of the consumer for over half a century.

They work on behalf of the consumer and they have over 1.5 million members and supporters. They are the singularly largest independent consumer body in the UK.

They have a commitment to providing unbiased advice to consumers, and that is at the heart of everything that they do.

They are based in London, Hertfordshire and Bristol and employ over 650 staff, who all work towards the same goal - make the individual as powerful as the organisations they have to deal with in their daily lives.

They have real purpose with their genuine passion for helping people and that truly runs through.

The Role

This exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, Legal Advisor in Consumer law to join this wonderful organisation based in the heart of Bristol, Somerset.

You will offer free legal advice to the organisations members. The members pay annually for the privilege of this service.

The days are varied, you will receive a call and engage, help by giving the relevant advice and then the case is closed, and you are free to help the next member.

As such, it will be a very rewarding role for someone that is conscientious and empathetic.
Due to the nature of the work you will benefit from a fantastic quality of life and work life balance. When you leave at the end of the day, your cases are finished and you can switch off and relax, something that your peers in Private Practice will be very envious of indeed.

The Role

This role will be based in the heart of Bristol.

This role will have you working with an experienced, friendly team.

You will deal with a broad range of people and quality matters.

The ideal candidate...

* You will be a Solicitor/Legal Executive and have experience of Consumer Law
* Excellent work life balance and quality of life
* You will deal with some very interesting, rewarding cases and help individuals in the process
* You should have excellent technical knowledge with an eye for attention to detail
* Based in Bristol.
* Salary is around £45,000 a year but this may be negotiable dependent on experience

• You'll get 28 days' annual leave, an interest-free season ticket loan, life assurance, and a very generous pension scheme.
• The company operates a wellbeing programme across all theirsites - fancy fruit provided to the office twice a week - they do that as well!
• They also have an active Social and Values Committee that organise events in and outside the office, giving you a chance to get to know other people within the company
• No more billable targets or long office hours!
• 100% support in reflecting on the quality of your practice and identifying your learning and development needs.

This opportunity would suit someone in a similar position already, or, someone looking to escape the monotony of billable hours move away from Private Practice and gain more in terms of quality of life.
