Locum Childcare Advocate Required

A London Local Authority is seeking an experienced Childcare Advocate to join its Legal Services team on an urgent locum basis.


This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified Solicitor, Barrister or Legal Executive with strong experience in public childcare proceedings who is available to start immediately.

The successful candidate will primarily be responsible for:

  • Conducting advocacy in public law childcare proceedings.
  • Representing the Local Authority at hearings in the Family Court.
  • Progressing public law cases through the court process efficiently and effectively.
  • Providing high-quality legal support to Children's Services.


Importantly, this is a hearing-focused role and you will not be expected to carry a caseload.


Where no hearings are scheduled, you will support the wider legal team through:

  • Drafting legal advice and documents.
  • Assisting with case preparation.
  • Delivering training and guidance where required.
  • Supporting other childcare legal matters as appropriate.

We are keen to hear from candidates who possess:

  • Significant experience in Local Authority Childcare Law.

What's on Offer?

  • £60-65 per hour (Inside IR35/Umbrella)
  • Up to 36 hours per week
  • Immediate start
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Opportunity to focus primarily on advocacy without managing a full caseload
  • Friendly and supportive Local Authority legal team


If you are an experienced Childcare Lawyer looking for an advocacy-focused locum opportunity with an immediate start, we'd be delighted to hear from you.


Please send CVs together with a copy of your Practicing Certificate to Sharzad Michaels in the Legal & Governance Team at Allen Lane ASAP!
