Family Care Solicitor

• Strong growth phase – recruiting at all levels
• Team has fantastic reputation spanning 30 years
• Work from home three days per week
• Legal 500, Resolution-accredited team

A high-profile, rapidly expanding legal group is recruiting for Family Care Solicitors at all levels to help drive forward the next phase of growth and help even more people gain access to justice.

The role comes with significant opportunities for progression, as the group is massively investing in its private client arm as a key driver of the business. Those who joined the business less than two years ago are already in senior leadership positions with significant financial uplifts.

The role also comes with the ability to work from home for three days per week, working as part of a Legal 500 specialist team alongside other very experienced care solicitors. The team here is one of the biggest and most respected care teams in Manchester, with a 30-year history, so it’s a great place to continue a successful career in childcare law.

Realm has been the recruitment partner for this regional firm for several years and – hand on heart – they are an absolute dream to work with. They are extremely proactive in remaining competitive with compensation and bonus schemes, benefits, and flexibility/remote-working. As a result, this firm has a very happy team and an incredibly high employee retention rate.

The many lawyers we have placed here enjoy their work, benefitting from a genuinely lovely team, fantastic benefits package and manageable caseload, leaving plenty of room for an excellent work/life balance. The team even benefits from all-expenses-paid weekends away – which should demonstrate the intense focus this firm puts on engagement and job satisfaction. The professionals we place here always comment on how comfortable and welcome they feel from day one.

Their offices are also easily commutable from North, East, South and Central Manchester with great transport links, including quick access to the M60.

The firm has a clear progression framework and regularly review team salaries and promotability. Plus, it is on an impressive growth track and has added to each of its teams in the past 12 months, so team members feel positive and part of something successful.
