Are you a passionate advocate looking for a meaningful career move?
At Winston Solicitors, we help families navigate the complex world of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). We are looking for a CHC Appeals & Advocacy Specialist to join our dedicated team.
This isn't just a "legal" role - it’s a role for a communicator, a problem-solver, and a compassionate guide. Whether you are a lawyer looking to retrain, a health or social care professional (Nurse/Social Worker) seeking a new challenge, or an advocate with a sharp mind, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Do:
* Advocate: Represent families in assessments and appeal panels, arguing the case for their loved ones' care funding.
* Advise: Guide clients through the eligibility criteria with empathy and clarity.
* Analyse: Review evidence and draft persuasive submissions to challenge NHS decisions.
* Manage: Navigate administrative complaints and processes to ensure progress for your clients.
What We’re Looking For:
We value personality, drive, and empathy above specific job titles. You might be a great fit if:
* You have excellent client care skills and can handle sensitive situations with tact.
* You are a "completer-finisher" who can manage a busy caseload and meet deadlines.
* You have strong writing skills and an analytical mind.
* Backgrounds considered: Law (Solicitors/CILEX), Nursing, Social Work, Paralegals, or professional Advocacy.
Why Join Winston Solicitors?
* Meaningful Work: You will see the direct impact of your work on families' lives every day.
* Specialist Training: CHC is a niche area; we will provide the training you need to become an expert.
* Flexible Future: The role is initially office-based to ensure you have all the support and training you need. Once you are established and "up to speed," we offer the flexibility of hybrid/home working.
* Benefits: Competitive salary, professional development, and a friendly office culture with free parking.
