Children Panel Accredited Solicitor – Care

Manchester | Liverpool | Lancashire | Hybrid Working

A leading national law firm is expanding its highly regarded Care team across the North West and is seeking a Children Panel Accredited Solicitor to join the practice.

With established offices in Merseyside and Lancashire, the firm is launching a brand-new Manchester office, creating an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to play a key role in growing the team. Equally, the firm is happy to consider candidates who would prefer to be based in Liverpool or Lancashire.

The Role

You’ll handle a varied caseload of public law children matters, supported by one of the largest Care teams in the country. While the role is primarily Care-focused, there is flexibility for those who would like to undertake a broader mix of family work alongside their Care caseload.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced solicitor looking to join a collaborative, supportive and well-resourced national team while enjoying the autonomy to develop their own practice.

About You

  • Children Panel Accredited (essential)
  • An established guardian following
  • Strong experience in public law children work
  • Passionate about delivering exceptional client care
  • Keen to contribute to the growth of a thriving Care team

PQE is not a deciding factor – applications are welcomed from all suitably qualified Children Panel Accredited solicitors.

The Firm

This national firm employs over 130 people, with more than half of the business dedicated to Care work. You’ll be joining an experienced and supportive team with an excellent reputation in the sector.

The firm is known for its friendly culture, collaborative approach and genuine commitment to work-life balance. Flexible and hybrid working is actively encouraged, with a particularly supportive approach for working parents, including flexibility around school runs and school holidays.

What’s on Offer?

  • Highly competitive salary
  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • Opportunity to join a growing national Care team
  • The chance to help establish and develop a new Manchester office
  • Excellent career progression opportunities
  • Supportive leadership and collaborative culture
  • Family-friendly working practices
  • Quality work and strong national reputation
