I’m currently working with a really well-established law firm who are looking to add an experienced Childcare Solicitor to their team in Leicester.
This is a great opportunity to join one of the largest Childcare teams in the East Midlands, working on behalf of children across England. The team has a fantastic reputation and, due to continued growth, they’re now looking for someone to come on board.
You’ll ideally have 5+ years’ PQE and solid experience across a range of Childcare matters, including:
- EPOs
- Special Guardianship and adoption matters
- Private law applications, including Rule .4 instructions
- Separate representation of competent children
Children’s Panel accreditation would be a big plus, although they’re also open to someone who is currently working towards accreditation. If you have an existing Guardian following, that would also be welcomed.
They’re looking for someone who is confident with advocacy and able to provide clear, practical advice, but who also understands the importance of being compassionate and supportive when dealing with children and families going through what can be incredibly difficult circumstances.
You’ll need to genuinely enjoy Childcare work and care about the difference the work you do can make.
