Reeds Solicitors would like to open a new family office in Devon and therefore we are seeking a Child Care Solicitor to join the team. Ideally the candidate would be an accredited member of the Law Society’s Child Panel, although all applicants with the relevant experience will be considered. We do not currently have an office base and therefore we are open to meeting candidates across the whole of the Devon area.

This is an exciting opportunity to help build a new office and develop a team of your own with the added benefit of the background support of a larger team, who have experience in this kind of business development. With this in mind, we would like to hear from candidates who have prior management experience or a desire to develop those skills in due course and who will be excited to get involved in the marketing, promotion and development of our brand and services within this area.

Applicants should have a good knowledge of public law children matters and have demonstrable experience in Child Care Proceedings, good advocacy skills and experience with public funding.

Salary is negotiable based on experience.
