Childcare Lawyer

A local authority based in South London is seeking a Childcare Lawyer for an initial period of six months. The role will require the candidate to pick up a caseload of circa 10-12 matters from day one. Work covers the full remit of child protection, adoption, fostering, NAI and other issues. You will work closely with Children’s Services. The council offers advice and assistance across applications for care, supervision, emergency protection, secure accommodation, special guardianship, contact and discharge of care orders. You will cover the full scope of work. Our client is ideally seeking candidates with local government experience, or public childcare experience as this is an urgent role with no training available. You will be required to have a current PC to be considered for the role. This is a hybrid working role, with attendance at the council offices required 2 days per week. The client may be able to consider candidates able to attend 1 day per week, but no less.
