• Supporting the financial management of clients, including budgeting, property transactions and ongoing administration.
• Assisting with the administration of Personal Injury Trusts.
• Liaising with clients, families, case managers, healthcare professionals and other advisers.

You'll be a qualified Solicitor with up to three years' PQE and an interest in Court of Protection work.
You will ideally have:

• Strong communication and client care skills.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
• The ability to manage competing priorities.
• A collaborative approach and a willingness to learn.

Candidates with experience in Private Client or other client-facing areas who are looking to specialise in Court of Protection work are also encouraged to apply.

The Opportunity

Alongside a competitive salary and hybrid working, you'll be joining a genuinely established team with a steady flow of quality work, clear supervision and a supportive culture. It's an opportunity to develop specialist expertise within a department that continues to be recognised as one of the strongest in its field.
