Job details

Experience in a legal aid practice is highly desirable. Experience with the Legal Services Agency LAMS system is also preferable.

* Advising and assisting clients with legal representations to the Education Authority and Health and Social Care Trusts, and other public bodies.
* Representation before the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal.
* Attendance at seminars and lectures in the furtherance of the practice's aims
About You
You will need to:
* Have strong technical knowledge, excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong client relationships. IT skills also desirable.
* Have a commitment to delivering an excellent client service.
* Have a full driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
* Ideally have experience with Legal Aid work and LAMS in particular.
* The ability to administer a case from instruction to completion essential with a sound knowledge of children's law and disability law.
* You will be required to work alongside other fee earners within the firm and adapt to sharing their caseloads as and when required without the need for constant direction.
