This role is offering an initial 12 month fixed term contract with the opportunity to be extended or become permanent. This is a full-time role and the successful candidate will be required to attend the office twice per week and attend court as and when needed.

Our client is seeking a Solicitor, Barrister or Legal Executive with previous experience in Prosecutions. Our client is very happy to look at newly qualified candidates from other public sector backgrounds as long as prosecutions experience can be demonstrated.
