Practice Manager Crime and Regulatory Barristers Chambers - London, United Kingdom - 9 KING S BENCH WALK
Description
9 King's Bench Walk, Chambers of Shabeena Azhar and Jonathan Mole, has a vacancy for a Practice Manager, to join our clerking team from May 2024
Salary £30K to £42K for the right person, dependent upon experience and seniority
24 days annual leave plus all public holidays.
Flexible arrangements are available, to work from home for short periods during each month, after a probationary period is completed satisfactorily
Deadline for applications 19TH May 2024
9 KBW is a long established, well regarded and very busy Criminal, Regulatory and Immigration set.
Our current workload means that our clerking team are dealing with incoming work of the highest calibre including high profile leading work for both prosecution and defence, working for long experienced, high profile solicitors, representing clients charged with offences ranging from murder to driving offences.
Our members are on the CPS Advocate Panels, both general and specialist at all levels including Level 4 for the CPS, the RASSO and Extradition Panels, and many of our members deal with regulatory cases where hearings are in regard to complex, sensitive and exceptional allegations.
Our members have a wealth of experience of both leading and junior work, dealing with the most serious and complex cases, and we are rapidly expanding our junior team and in recent years we have taken on all of our three pupils each year. Those pupils rapidly find themselves in jury trials and we expect our clerking team to provide support and guidance in particular to those at the junior end.
We continue to be not only the busiest we have ever been in terms of incoming work and the recruitment of new members, but the inflow of work continues to rise rapidly. For this reason, and because of the likelihood of a further increase in membership in the coming months, we need another Practice Manager to join our team, to ensure that we can continue to efficiently manage the level of diary work and accompanying billing.
We are looking for a Practice Manager who has preferably a minimum of 2 years' experience in the job responsibilities set out below and who is fully conversant with, and confident in, assisting with the management of Chambers diary, and ideally in assisting the Senior Clerk with the practice management of members. However, although experience of billing criminal fees will be an advantage, it is not an essential requirement.
Some experience of criminal clerking is however essential and regulatory and immigration experience is desirable, but not a requirement.
Chambers undertakes instructions from Direct Public Access clients and knowledge of this type of work is also desirable, but not essential, as training can be provided through both the Bar Council training courses and by our highly experienced Senior Clerk.
A basic knowledge of GDPR management is desirable. However all Chambers staff undertake GDPR Certification, once they have been in the role for a certain period of time and it is not therefore essential.
A full detailed Job Description is available on request. The main responsibilities are set out below;
Job Responsibilities
Our Requirements
Applications should be made to Christine Eadie, Chambers Managing Consultant by way of CV and covering letter, setting out experience to date and the details of two referees. Referees will only be asked to provide written references in the event that an interview is offered.
If you would like a confidential discussion about this role, or any aspect of Chambers services, please contact Dave Fardon, Senior Clerk and he will be very happy to discuss with you what we can offer to the right applicant.
Chambers is an Equal Opportunities Employer.
Copies of Chambers Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Dignity at Work, Parental Leave, Flexible Working and Reasonable Adjustments Policies are available upon request.
