  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to manage your own caseload with exceptional attention to detail
  • Empathetic, personable and client-focused
  • Able to work both independently and collaboratively


What you’ll be doing

  • Managing your own Court of Protection Property & Affairs caseload
  • Supporting an experienced professional deputy with complex client matters
  • Advising and assisting clients who have lost capacity through serious injury or illness
  • Working closely with families, case managers and other professionals
  • Managing clients’ financial affairs in line with their best interests
  • Contributing to business development and converting warm referral opportunities where appropriate
  • Delivering exceptional client service while meeting quality and chargeable time targets


Salary & Benefits

  • Competitive salary depending on experience
  • Hybrid working with just one day per week in the Manchester office
  • 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
  • Option to buy additional annual leave
  • Generous pension scheme
  • Two paid volunteering days each year
  • Comprehensive wellbeing programme
  • Flexible hybrid working
  • Inclusive culture with dedicated colleague networks
  • Strong commitment to social responsibility, pro bono work and career development
