We are recruiting a Supervising Solicitor to play a central role in delivering and developing our legal services.
This is a senior position with responsibility for overseeing casework, supporting and supervising staff, and maintaining high standards of legal advice.
- London/hybrid
- Salary: Up to £44,000 depending on experience
- Deadline: Rolling, early applications encouraged
At Youth Legal, we believe that access to legal advice should not depend on a young person’s income, background or circumstances. We are looking for a committed and experienced Community Care Supervising Solicitor to join our growing team and play a key role in supporting vulnerable young people and families across London.
This is an opportunity to combine high-quality legal practice with meaningful social impact. The role involves advising and representing young people aged 16-25 and families with children on complex community care matters, from one off support via our advice line to representation throughout a case. You will also help supervise and develop junior staff and volunteers, contribute to service development, and support the growth of an ambitious and values-driven organisation.
We are looking for someone with strong community care knowledge, excellent judgement and a genuine commitment to social justice. The successful candidate will be confident managing complex casework, supporting others within a collaborative team environment and working with empathy and professionalism in challenging situations.
Youth Legal offers a supportive and flexible working environment where staff are encouraged to contribute ideas, shape services and develop professionally. We recognise the importance of lived experience and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds, particularly those who reflect the communities we work with.
