About this role
We are seeking a dedicated and skilled Child Care Lawyer to join our dynamic Legal Services team at the Isle of Wight Council!
As a Child Care Lawyer, you will play a crucial role in representing the Council in child care proceedings and other legal matters. You will provide expert advice and representation, ensuring the best outcomes for children and families. You will manage a full caseload (8 to 10 cases) focused almost exclusively on care proceedings as there will be no SEN, Care Home or DOLS work.
