South Wales Valleys | Blackwood, Aberdare & Merthyr Tydfil

Childcare Solicitor | NQ-Experienced | Multiple South Wales Locations

Are you a Childcare Solicitor looking for your next move with a well-established South Wales practice?

I'm working with a respected law firm with a strong presence across the South Wales Valleys , who are looking to strengthen their Family & Childcare team .

With offices across Blackwood, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil , this is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor who wants to build their career within a supportive team while working on a varied and meaningful childcare caseload.

The opportunity

You’ll handle a varied caseload of public law childcare matters , representing parents, children and other parties involved in care proceedings.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Manage your own caseload of care and childcare proceedings
• Represent parents and other clients in public law proceedings
• Attend Family Court hearings
• Advise clients throughout the lifecycle of proceedings
• Prepare statements, applications and other court documentation
• Work alongside experienced solicitors and support staff
• Develop your advocacy and case management skills
• Build strong relationships with clients and other professionals involved in proceedings

• A strong understanding of the Children Act and relevant family law procedure
• Excellent client-care and communication skills
• The ability to manage a caseload effectively
• Confidence dealing with the Family Court and other professionals

Children Panel accreditation would be advantageous but isn't essential , depending on experience.

Why consider it?

This is an opportunity to join a firm where you'll have the chance to work on interesting and genuinely important cases , while being part of an established team rather than being thrown into a role with little support.

You’ll benefit from:

• An established South Wales practice
• A supportive Family & Childcare team
• A varied public law caseload
• Genuine opportunities for career development
• Multiple office locations across the South Wales Valleys
