The Opportunity

  • Attending meetings and conferences with social services
  • Assist on court cases and attend court
  • Deal with a range of care orders from a supervision order, a placement order, a special guardianship order and adoption orders
  • Dealing with legal aid applications
  • Conducting your own advocacy if applicable.

The experience you’ll bring to the team

  • A qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive
  • Care experience is essential (additional family experience will be considered but care work is essential in addition)
  • Advocacy experience is desirable but not essential
  • A following of clients is desirable but not essential
  • A child panel member is also highly desirable
  • Experience in guardian work is highly desirable.  

What you’ll get in return

  • An excellent salary depending on PQE panel and guardian experience
  • An excellent opportunity to establish a work, life balance  (9-5 hours)
  • Working for an established, Welsh law firm with a family feel and culture
