Care Solicitor
Hot Job
- Autonomy, development and real scope to progress
- Work with one of the North’s most respected family law firms
- Flexible working with a genuinely supportive team culture
If you’re an ambitious care solicitor looking to join a team where your autonomy is respected, your development is prioritised, and your achievements are properly rewarded – this role in Leeds could be exactly what you’re looking for.
This specialist family law firm has built a strong reputation across the region, with multiple offices and an evolving, modern culture. The team in Leeds is looking to grow, and there’s an opportunity here for the right person – whether you’re just starting out or already a panel member – to shape your role and take your career to the next level.
You’ll be supported to develop your expertise in care proceedings or private children work (including some divorce and finance if that’s of interest), with clear progression pathways in place – including help towards children panel membership and future partnership.
You’ll be working in a genuinely collaborative team alongside experienced care solicitors and advocates, with strong secretarial support, and the freedom to build your own caseload in a way that suits your working style. There’s a strong emphasis on innovation and rewarding good work – people are trusted, given space to grow, and paid fairly for what they deliver.
Who we’re looking for
- Care solicitors from NQ up to senior level
- Able to manage a caseload independently and carry out your own advocacy
- Comfortable with legal aid work and familiar with running care or children matters
- Positive, collaborative and self-motivated – a team player with a can-do attitude

- 2 days from home
- Clear development plan to move up in title
- Support to gain Children Panel accreditation
