  • Qualified Solicitor, ideally NQ to 3 years' PQE (all routes to qualification considered)
  • Demonstrable experience supporting an education team or education-sector clients
  • Ability to manage a caseload and provide sound commercial advice
  • Transactional support experience
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to prioritise and work under pressure
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
