• Manage an existing caseload of around 25 deputyships and 15 attorneyships
• Work independently day-to-day with support from the wider private client team
• Deliver an excellent service to clients with complex needs
• Grow the Court of Protection workstream and, in time, build and lead your own team

Salary & Benefits

• Salary: Competitive, DOE
• Hybrid working: 2–3 days WFH
• Holidays: 25 days + bank holidays (with further increases for length of service)
• Career progression framework with clear routes forward
• Supportive culture within a collaborative private client team
• Autonomy to shape your role and the future of the department
• No glass ceiling – genuine long-term opportunities
