Job Description
Role: NQ Family Private Solicitor
Salary: DOE
Location: Bury
An opportunity has arisen for a NQ Solicitor to join a well-established and progressive law firm within its busy family department.
This role offers a competitive salary, generous holiday allowance including your birthday off, a workplace nursery scheme, pension contributions, and access to a range of staff perks such as a Cycle2Work initiative and Northern Rail discounts. Ongoing training, guidance, and support are provided as part of a collaborative and welcoming environment where professional growth is genuinely encouraged.
This position is ideal for a solicitor who can confidently manage their own caseload across private family matters, including divorce, finance, and children law. A blend of Legal Aid and private work is involved, so a solid understanding of legal aid criteria and experience using CCMS is essential. The successful candidate will be working closely with a friendly, supportive team and will benefit from the firm’s commitment to both personal development and work-life balance.
A car and full driving licence are required, as travel to court hearings and other offices will be part of the role.
The firm itself is a long-standing regional practice with deep roots in the North West and a strong reputation for client care and legal excellence. With around 200 staff and eight offices across the region, it combines the approachability of a traditional high street firm with the forward-thinking mindset of a modern legal business. Accredited by Lexcel, CQS, and WIQS, the firm maintains high standards in client service and practice management, and offers opportunities to be part of a thriving legal community that values professionalism, integrity, and collaboration.
This is a fantastic chance to take the next step in your career in family law within a firm that truly invests in its people.
