Job Details

LAW Absolute is recruiting to a Childcare Lawyer role with a local authority based in South London.

Our client is seeking Childcare Lawyers available on short notice as this position is being offered on an initial three month temporary basis.

As the successful Childcare Lawyer you will be required to undertake the following duties:

  • Carry a caseload of approximately 14 cases (mixture of cases in proceedings and PLO matters)
  • Provide advice and representation relating to childcare matters including; care proceedings, adoption, child protection and fostering
  • Undertake advocacy in court to include; CMC’s, IRH’s, PLO’s and Direction Hearings
  • Attend meetings alongside expert witnesses
  • Attend legal planning meetings

Due to the urgent nature of the role, you must be available on no more than three weeks’ notice in order to be considered. Previous experience of working within another local authority would be advantageous although candidates from the private sector with public childcare exposure are encouraged to apply.

Please only apply if you possess public childcare experience and are able to start on short notice. This is not a training opportunity. To apply for the role please send an updated copy of your CV to zalex@lawabsolute.com

At LAW Absolute we endeavour to respond to all applications within 48 hours. However due to the volume of applications we receive we may not be able to respond to every candidate individually.

If you have not heard from us within a 48 hour timeframe your application has not been successful and your details have not been retained. LAW Absolute acts as an employment business for temporary recruitment and as an employment agency for fixed term contract and permanent recruitment.
