Head of Childcare and Adult Social Care required to join a local authority based in Cambridgeshire on a permanent basis.
We believe this would be a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Childcare or Adults Lawyer to take the next step in their career and to actively lead and manage a team of lawyers. Alternatively this would be a great transition for a head of family who is passionate about childcare law to move into a public sector position.
The successful candidate will undertake a busy role, and have the opportunity to really make a difference within this large organisation.
You will proactively manage four principal lawyers across the children's and adults social care teams, and will ultimately hold responsibility for their work. This will entail you overseeing the case work, supervising colleagues, and making key decisions on a daily basis, focusing on developing a high performing team.
Alongside this, you will be an active member of the senior management team, which will involve (but not be limited to) the following;
- Provide high quality, specialist legal advice to clients
- Attend courts and tribunals, undertaking advocacy where required
We encourage interested applicants to apply immediately to be considered for short listing. Alternatively should you require further information or wish to discuss your suitability before applying please contact Alexis Aarons in our Manchester office for a confidential discussion.
