solicitor

We are a busy, friendly & well supported legal team that has worked closely with the judiciary and our client Childrens Service Department and other stakeholders to provide great outcomes for children. We have a clear focus on robust case management both in pre-proceedings and in the local Family Court where we routinely undertake our own advocacy. We work hard to ensure our people are well supported and able to excel in their roles and positively manage the demands of the job.

We are looking for Solicitors or Barristers with appropriate authorisation to conduct litigation. Experience of Childcare would be an advantage but we would consider people new to this area of work, particularly with litigation experience as this can be transferrable. Advocacy is an essential part of the job and you should be willing to attend Courts in person across the County. You will be joining a very experienced team with supported by experienced Principal Solicitors and assisted by support staff to ensure you're able to do your job to the best of your abilities. These key features allow both professional development and a positive work life balance with a hybrid working pattern involving 1 day in the office with full wrap around technological support., While you are working hard, doing your best for the people of Worcestershire, we will do our best to provide an environment that supports and inspires you. Here are some of the top reasons why you should work here.

The work we do at Worcestershire County Council matters! We are there for the most vulnerable people in society who need us the most, we are helping to build a successful and growing local economy, we protect our environment, we improve outcomes for our children, young people and families, and we help ensure our residents are healthier, live longer and have a better quality of life. In short, what we do makes a difference to people's lives!

With so many ways to contribute, the chances are we have a job opportunity that's the career for you.
