Recruiter: Albion Rye Associates

Are you ready to make a real difference in the legal healthcare space?

Albion Rye Associates is delighted to partner with a nationally recognised, award-winning law firm to recruit a Healthcare Solicitor into their market-leading public law and patient care team.

This role offers the chance to work on some of the most complex, sensitive, and high-impact healthcare legal issues in the UK — often involving decisions that shape public policy, clinical practice, and individual lives.

The Role

You’ll work alongside a stellar group of Partners advising NHS bodies, healthcare providers, and public authorities on a wide range of matters including:

• Court of Protection and best interests cases (Mental Capacity Act 2005)
• Mental Health Act advisory and disputes
• NHS Continuing Healthcare and responsible commissioner issues
• Governance, prioritisation, and exceptional funding cases
• Incident investigations and Care Act assessments

You’ll join a collaborative, national team with offices in Birmingham, London, and Manchester — and enjoy a hybrid working model with some national travel to meet client needs.

About You

• You’re likely 2–5 years’ PQE (or equivalent experience)
• Solid working knowledge of the Mental Capacity Act and health law framework is highly beneficial
• Strong communication, drafting, and analytical skills are essential
• You thrive in a team, stay calm under pressure
• A genuine interest in healthcare law, clinical governance, and public service

Why Apply?

• Work on matters that regularly make headlines and set precedent
• Be part of a supportive, multi-office legal network that champions healthcare law
• Access a clear path to long-term development in a firm that invests in its people
• Enjoy flexibility and balance in a team that understands the importance of well-being

If you're a healthcare or public law solicitor looking to do meaningful work with a leading national team, we’d love to hear from you.
