The Opportunity:
We are looking for a Childcare Solicitor with proven experience in managing their own caseload of public law children's matters. While the client is open to applications from all PQE levels, the ability to independently handle cases from instruction to conclusion is paramount.

Key Responsibilities:
- Managing a diverse caseload of public law children's cases, representing children,
parents, and other family members.

Planning Meetings.
- Conducting advocacy in court hearings, including contested hearings.
- Drafting clear and concise legal documentation, including applications, statements,
and orders.
- Providing sensitive, practical, and clear legal advice to clients.
- Liaising effectively with local authorities, Cafcass, and other agencies.
- Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of relevant legislation and case law.
About You:
The ideal candidate will possess:
- Be a qualified Solicitor.
- Have demonstrable experience in independently running a caseload of public law
children's matters (essential).
- A solid understanding of children law, including the Children Act 1989 and relevant
case law.
- Excellent advocacy skills and experience representing clients in court.
- Strong analytical, research, and drafting abilities.
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to empathise
with vulnerable clients.
- A proactive, organised, and resilient approach to work.
- A genuine passion for childcare law and a commitment to achieving the best
outcomes for children.
- Accreditation to the Law Society Children Panel is desirable but not essential.
What They Offer:
- A competitive salary commensurate with your experience and expertise.
- A supportive, collaborative, and friendly working environment.
- Opportunities for continuous professional development and career progression.
- The chance to work within a highly respected firm with a strong commitment to
client welfare.
- A challenging yet rewarding role where you can truly make a difference.
- An office-based role in Rochdale, fostering strong team cohesion and client
relationships.
Location: Rochdale, Greater Manchester
