SEN Education Lawyer required for a local authority based in London for an initial 3 month period with the view of extension thereafter.

The successful candidate will be handling a caseload of education matters, which will include;

* SENDIST

* Disability discrimination

* School exclusions & admission appeals

The desired candidate will have experience of handling education matters in a local authority however private practice candidates will strongly be considered. Candidates must have experience of undertaking SEND Tribunal advocacy as this post will require candidates to undertake their own advocacy.

Candidates will require the ability to demonstrate working knowledge of the Care Act 2014. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forthcoming and large local authority, giving access to a wide range of clients. The council building is located opposite the train station and is easily accessible from central London.
