Up to 12 months initially
Up to £65 per hour umbrella
Hybrid Working - 1 day per week on site.

Panoramic Associates are supporting our Local Authority client with the recruitment of a Locum Senior Adult Social Care Solicitor for an initial 12 months. This role can be offered on either a full-time or part-time basis (4 days per week), however, on-site attendance for client meetings weekly would be required due to the nature of the role.

Role:

• This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced ASC Solicitor to advise on healthcare-related projects and collaborate directly with the ASC department on matters.
• You will help with cost-saving measures and provide legal advice on ASC cases. From a legal perspective, you will look at why the council is having high spending in certain areas and having cost-saving deliverables allocated. As part of your role, you will ensure cases can be easily resolved rather than it taking longer and putting financial strain on the local authority.
• You will provide advice under the Mental Health Act 1983, including deprivation of liberty, place of safety & s117 aftercare.
• Court of protection work will include providing advice on all aspects of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, deprivation of liberty safeguards, and court of protection proceedings for welfare decisions & s21A proceedings.
• Weekly onsite meetings are in place so you can spend time with the ASC managers.

Requirements:

• Qualified solicitor/barrister or CILEX qualified in order to carry out the senior solicitor position
• Local government Adult Social Care experience
