You'll be joining at an exciting time, where the team is currently expanding.
Your role and impact
As a Lawyer in the SCCT, you will be responsible for the effective management of a caseload of sensitive and complex cases across the fitness to practice process, ensuring that our cases are progressed in a proportionate, timely and risk focused manner so that you can support the organisation to meet its statutory objectives of protecting the public and upholding confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions.
 
What you'll bring
  • You will advise on a range of issues including the identification of regulatory concerns, the identification and assessment of both case-specific and organisational risk, the scoping of investigations, evidence collation and providing disclosable summaries for media briefings. 
  • You will also be responsible for advising colleagues in respect of many of our wider legal obligations and the relevance and impact of case law. 
  • You will be expected to collaborate and work with internal teams across the NMC on complex matters including information sharing, public inquiries and inquests. 
  • You will be a key point of contact for both internal and external stakeholders, often at a senior level, and you will be able to provide updates at short notice in relation to the cases you are overseeing. 
  • As well as overseeing your own Fitness to Practise workload you will, from time to time and as appropriate, instruct external firms to conduct investigations and you will confidently provide instructions on all aspects of the investigation from the scope of enquiries to the proposed disposal, ensuring the investigations are progressed in a cost-effective, timely and proportionate manner.  
  • A key part of your role will be in the supervision and development of more junior colleagues as well as taking an active role in identifying and implementing improvements to the way we work. 
  • You'll be a confident self-starter who is able to work autonomously, with relevant casework experience, knowledge and skills.
