Job Description:
The Opportunity
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Family Solicitor and Accredited Care Lawyer to join a well-established and highly regarded North West firm. Based in Bootle, this role offers the chance to join a thriving and expanding department that has seen significant growth in recent years, resulting in a consistent and high-quality caseload.
This position would suit a solicitor looking for long-term stability within a supportive, down-to-earth firm that continues to go from strength to strength.


The Role
You will handle a varied caseload of family matters, with a particular focus on private law children and divorce work. The role also involves advocacy, making it ideal for a solicitor confident in representing clients at hearings.
The caseload is a mix of legal aid and privately funded work, with approximately 50–60% legal aid matters and the remainder privately funded. You will be joining a busy and well-run team with a strong pipeline of work and genuine opportunities to develop your experience across both areas.


What the Firm Offers
This is a long-standing and reputable firm with over 30 years’ presence in the North West, offering a broad range of legal services including family, crime, civil disputes, and personal injury.
The firm prides itself on being approachable and supportive, with a collaborative team structure and a strong emphasis on maintaining a manageable workload despite continued growth. You’ll be joining a department that is well-established but still evolving, offering a great balance of structure and opportunity.


What They’re Looking For
* A qualified Family Solicitor (ideally 3+ PQE, although this is flexible for the right candidate)
* Accredited Care Lawyer status or working towards accreditation
* Strong experience in private law children and divorce matters
* Advocacy experience and confidence representing clients in court
* Solid understanding of legal aid work and procedures
* Ability to manage your own caseload effectively and meet deadlines
* Strong interpersonal skills, particularly when working with vulnerable clients


Benefits
* Competitive salary (circa £40,000, depending on experience)
* Hybrid working available following probation
* Free on-site parking
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
* Flexible, family-friendly working environment
* Recognition for length of service and anniversaries
* Genuine long-term progression within a growing department
