Head of Court of Protection
- Unmissable leadership opportunity in a well-established team
- Top-of-market salary with no-following-required
- Plenty of home working – up to three days a week
- Enjoy a supportive working environment
Our client, a full-service law firm with a national reach, is seeking an experienced Court of Protection Solicitor to lead their highly regarded team based in Manchester. This law firm prides itself on combining the expertise and professionalism of a large organisation with the personal touch of a smaller firm. With a friendly and close-knit culture, they offer a unique atmosphere where you can truly shine.
In exchange, this role comes not only with a fantastic salary but also an attractive benefits package. The firm is dedicated to supporting work-life balance with the option to work from home for three days each week and flexible working hours to suit your lifestyle.
You’ll have the chance to lead an established team packed with talent, ensuring the provision of top-quality legal protection services. Your pivotal role will contribute significantly to the firm, providing direction to a dedicated team and making a tangible difference in the lives of clients. With ample work already available, your focus will be on steering the team rather than on business development, allowing you to concentrate on professional excellence and client care.
You’ll be a Court of Protection Solicitor with at least eight years’ post-qualification experience under your belt, ready to step up and take charge as head of a dynamic department. The firm seeks someone with the vision to lead, the expertise to inspire confidence, and the dedication to nurture client relationships.
In return, you’ll enjoy a rare combination of benefits, including a top-of-market salary, extensive annual leave, the flexibility to work up to three days from home, and a clear pathway for progression within the firm.
Our client is not just another law firm; they are passionate leaders in their field, committed to making a difference. Their specialism in the Court of Protection sector means they are at the forefront of providing legal services that truly impact lives. With a warm culture that maintains its client-first approach despite the firm’s growth, the firm offers a genuinely supportive work environment where part-time arrangements are also considered, underscoring its dedication to work-life balance.
If you’re looking for a role where you can lead, grow, and balance your professional and personal life in a supportive and esteemed law firm, this is the opening you’ve been waiting for.
