This is a substantive role offering meaningful casework, sensible hybrid working, and the chance to develop within a collaborative team.

You’ll advise and represent the Council on a broad range of education law matters, including SEND appeals. SEND Tribunals are currently fully remote, and external counsel is instructed on the most complex or high-risk cases. This is a hands-on role with responsibility for:

* Representing the Council at hearings, meetings and panels
* Providing clear, pragmatic legal advice to client departments
* Working closely with colleagues across legal and education services

Why this role?

* Manageable hybrid working : 40% office attendance

* Flexibility : open to discussions around working patterns
* Development and progression : opportunities to broaden experience
* Accessible location : offices next to Coventry railway station

About you

* Qualified Solicitor, Barrister, or Chartered Legal Executive
* Experience in education law, including SEND Tribunal work
* Confidence representing clients and meeting deadlines
* Strong drafting, negotiation and advisory skills
* A collaborative approach and the ability to adapt

Interested?

If you’re an education lawyer looking for high-quality work, flexibility, and a genuinely supportive environment, this is well worth a conversation. Apply now or message for a confidential discussion.
