This is an exciting opportunity for a Newly Qualified Solicitor to join a nationally recognised Health & Care Regulatory team-a rare chance to get involved in truly meaningful work with a supportive, award-winning practice.Why This Opportunity Stands Out This isn’t just another legal role. It’s your opportunity to:

• Work on high-profile, high-impact matters across public and independent sector clients.

• Education law, children law, and governance in health/social care

• Is passionate about health, social care, or education law
