THE ROLE

You will join an established family department, managing your own mixed caseload of private family matters, including divorce and financial remedy work, private children matters and domestic abuse cases.

The role will involve handling a combination of Legal Aid and privately funded work, offering exposure to a broad range of matters and the opportunity to develop your experience across different areas of family law. You will have support and guidance from the wider team, while being encouraged to manage your own files and undertake your own advocacy.

THE CANDIDATE

The successful candidate will have at least 1 year's PQE within family law and experience handling private family matters. You should be confident managing your own caseload and have a good grounding in divorce, financial matters, private children and domestic abuse work.

Experience of both Legal Aid and privately funded work would be beneficial, alongside a sound understanding of legal aid eligibility and familiarity with CCMS. A willingness to undertake your own advocacy is also required.

You will be organised, detail focused and confident communicating with clients, with a professional and approachable manner. The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team is equally important.

THE FIRM

You will join an established regional law firm with multiple offices across the North West and a strong presence in the local market. The firm combines the personal approach of a traditional high street practice with a modern outlook, placing importance on client service, professional standards and ongoing development.

The role offers a competitive salary dependent on experience, 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, an additional birthday day off, pension, attendance bonus, life insurance, long service awards and a range of staff discounts and benefits.
