A highly respected firm with a national presence is seeking a Panel-accredited Care Solicitor to lead their dedicated team in Manchester. Our client is renowned for their commitment to excellence and a supportive environment that nurtures professional growth.

With a top-of-market salary, this permanent role offers not just financial rewards but a balanced and flexible working lifestyle. The firm is particularly keen to adapt to your scheduling needs around court and client responsibilities, underscoring an appreciation for a sound work-life balance.

In this role, you will step into a caseload with existing direction but will also be encouraged to build upon it, demonstrating the firm's confidence in your ability to take ownership and drive success. Professional development is a priority here, with a clear progression route and regular appraisals to ensure that your career is on the right track.

You'll thrive in this role if you're a proactive solicitor with a background in child care law, encompassing both parent and guardian work. Your business development acumen, networking prowess, and ability to supervise effectively are essential. You're the type of person who leads by example—professional yet approachable, able to communicate at all levels without resorting to authoritative methods.

Our client, while expanding nationally, maintains a close-knit team ethos and is looking for someone who can resonate with their inclusive culture. The legal landscape they operate in is competitive, yet this firm stands out for its compassionate approach, ensuring you'll be part of an environment where you can genuinely make a difference.

If you're a professional keen to contribute to a dedicated team and excel in an environment that values collaboration and individual growth, this is an opportunity to step into a meaningful role that promises both personal and career advancement.
