Job Description

The successful candidate shall be expected to manage a heavy caseload of very serious offences and proactively lead and manage a team of highly dedicated lawyers. The role shall require police station attendance and Court appearances to conduct advocacy at first hearings and at Trial as well as meticulous case preparation. The role shall include the management and supervision of other Crime Duty Solicitors and the allocation of their work whilst ensuring compliance with the 2017 Standard Crime Contract. This is an extremely challenging and demanding but rewarding role.

Requirements

The successful candidate shall have the ability to guide, manage and lead others and be able to offer constructive criticism and feedback to team members to enable them to improve their performance. They must be able to work with minimum supervision themselves, use their own initiative and be self-disciplined.

The nature of criminal defence requires considerable mental dexterity.

Accordingly, this role requires an individual who is entirely committed and dedicated to criminal defence, takes pride in their work and is passionate about what they do and the results that they achieve.
