Looking for a Care role where you can build your career, have genuine flexibility and be rewarded for your success?

An established and experienced Public Law Children / Care team in Manchester is looking for a Care Solicitor to join them.

You could be NQ or highly experienced - there's no PQE ceiling. Children Panel accreditation would be a bonus, but it's not essential, with support available for the right candidate to work towards Panel.

You will be joining a strong team of experienced specialists, with plenty of support around you, but also the opportunity to take ownership of your caseload, develop client relationships and play a real part in the continued growth of the department.

Why work here?

This is a firm that genuinely invests in its people. Teamwork is a big part of the culture, with colleagues working together for clients rather than simply focusing on billing figures. You will have access to specialist knowledge across a multi-office firm, ongoing training and genuine support for your development and wellbeing. It's a place for ambitious lawyers who want to keep learning, progress their careers and be part of a successful team.

What's on offer?

• Hybrid and genuinely flexible working
• Option to work your hours across 4 days
• 15% bonus when billing 2.5x salary
• 23 days' holiday, rising to 33 days with service
• Christmas closure without using annual leave
• Support towards Children Panel accreditation

The bonus scheme could be particularly attractive if you're ambitious and motivated by earning potential, with strong bonuses being paid across the business.

What are they looking for?

Someone with solid Public Law Children / Care experience who is confident advocating for clients and managing their own caseload.

You will ideally be:

Ambitious | Client-focused | A strong advocate | Commercially aware | Growth-minded

If you're looking for more than simply processing a caseload and want a role where you can progress, increase your earning potential and have genuine ownership of your career, I would be keen to speak with you.
