Job Details

Solicitor – Public Defender Service

Legal Aid Agency

Location: Cheltenham, Swansea and Pontypridd

Salary range: £30,531 - £42,461

The Public Defender Service are seeking to recruit an experienced criminal defence lawyer.

As a qualified solicitor, you will be passionate about criminal law and have a wealth of experience in providing advice and representation in police stations and magistrates’ courts and managing a varied Crown Court caseload. The role will involve working in a digital environment and thus IT skills are preferable, though not essential as full training will be given. You will be required to have flexibility in working across your local area. Your collaborative and team-orientated approach will be valued by a supportive team who strive for excellence in everything that they do. And if your passion for the law extends to wanting to help modernise and improve the wider criminal justice system, then this could be the role for you.

You’ll need to be assertive, a good listener, astute and full of energy. You’ll be an existing Solicitor or FILEX with CLAS, and have a full driving licence and use of a motor vehicle.

Closing date: 23rd April 2019

For more information on these roles contact Dan Williams on 07719 099369 or dan.williams@legalaid.gsi.gov.uk  or to apply please visit www.justice.gov.uk/jobs and search using the relevant vacancy reference number above.

We are committed to promoting the benefits of a diverse workforce.
